Brown Shipley offers wealth planning, investment management and lending services for private, corporate and institutional clients.
In 1812 William returned to Baltimore to introduce his new wife and baby to his family and to report on trading and political conditions in Liverpool and Europe.
The new trading firm financed merchants who were shipping goods between Britain, the United States and other parts of Europe and the Americas.
After celebrating its bicentenary in 2010, Brown Shipley expanded to new premises in Manchester, Edinburgh and Birmingham, complementing its newly refurbished London building, giving the company contemporary homes to match its modern outlook.
Then three further acquisitions served to broaden and strengthen Brown Shipley's offering: Hampton Dean, a chartered independent firm of financial planners giving the bank a Nottingham base in 2015; The Roberts Partnership, a financial planning and wealth management firm based in Manchester joined in 2016, adding £540m assets under management (AUM) and bringing the wealth manager's total AUM to £5.5bn;[3] while 2017 saw Brown Shipley acquire the UK branch of Insinger de Beaufort.
