The ultra high net worth team at the private bank of Credit Suisse has appointed another former JP Morgan private bank manager, Alison Bishop, to work in the UK/international market group, holding the title of director, this publication can exclusively report.

In her new role, which she took up last week, Bishop reports to Matthew Haimes, UHNW segment head for the market group UK/international. Haimes joined in November last year, as this publication also revealed last August. He had been UK head of family office solutions in the financial sponsors team at JP Morgan Private Bank.

Credit Suisse told this publication that Bishop’s move was further proof of its determination to expand its UHNW business in the UK and Western Europe.

Credit Suisse is due to report its fourth-quarter results on 7 February.
