Barclays Private Bank grows Midlands team with senior appointment

Barclays Private Bank has appointed Jennifer Crowley as a senior director in its Birmingham office, as it continues to strengthen its private banking and wealth management offering across the Midlands.

Jennifer joins the Midlands team led by Paul Keiser and has spent more than two decades advising entrepreneurs, business owners and high net worth families in the region. She will work with clients across the Midlands, with a particular focus on Greater Birmingham, where she has built a strong network over her career.

She joins from Cazenove Capital, where she was a portfolio director, and has previously held senior roles at Coutts, Kleinwort Benson and Investec Private Bank. Jennifer is a Chartered Wealth Manager, a status awarded by the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI).

Her appointment is part of Barclays Private Bank's wider expansion in the Midlands due to growing client demand. The team works closely with Barclays' Corporate Banking colleagues to support private clients and family offices with their investment and planning, as well as the everyday banking services suited to their individual needs.

Paul Keiser, director for the Midlands - Barclays Private Bank and Wealth Management, said: “Jennifer knows our local market extremely well. She has spent her career working with business owners and families here, and the relationships she has built in Birmingham will make a real difference to our clients at a time when many are carefully considering their next steps.

“Many of the people we work with have built their wealth through their own businesses, so working closely with our corporate banking colleagues is crucial. With Jennifer on board, we can spend more time with founders and business leaders as they plan their next move, whether that means growing their business, selling it or passing it on to the next generation.”
