Sandy Swinton, a director within UK private banking at Barclays Wealth, has left the UK firm, this publication understands.

Swinton has been at Barclays Wealth for more than 10 years.

Barclays Wealth declined to comment on the matter when contacted by WealthBriefing.

In a separate move, Sam Moon, assistant vice president, is leaving the Africa markets team at Barclays Wealth and is understood to be joining UBS. Moon had been at the firm for almost eight years.

In recent weeks, by contrast, Barclays Wealth has announced a number of hires. In July, it expanded its investment advisory team by hiring six new investment advisors to support its UK and Ireland and International EMEA private bankers.
