The Royal Bank of Canda's wealth management business has hired a director to focus on growing its entrepreneurial client base in the UK, the latest in a slew of appointments for Canada's largest bank.

Sarah Macdonald joins the London-based onshore team, reporting to Philip Harris, head of the UK domestic division, who was recruited to grow the business last year. Macdonald was previously at UK wealth manager Barclays Wealth and before this, US bank Morgan Stanley. She has 10 years experience.
