A team of five wealth advisers have opted to join UK broking adviser Brewin Dolphin from Swiss bank UBS after holding discussions on a possible move to start-up boutique Vestra Wealth.

The team is led by Charles Bracher, assisted by investment adviser Frank Clark. Adviser Diane Harding and an administrator have also signed up. Another UBS adviser is expected to move across in the near future. The team will bolster Brewin Dolphin's office in Taunton, in the English county of Somerset.
