The UK remains a hugely important market for Mirabaud, and the arrival of Ben to head up our wholesale sales capability enables us to further build our relationships within this key client area. I also welcome Michael and Elena to Mirabaud, who bring with them great exper tise, further strengthening our investment capabilities and our dedication to providing responsible investment solutions for our clients.’
