Braveheart Investment Group has announced the retirement of its executive director, Andrew Burton.

In addition to serving as executive director of the fund management and strategic investor group, Mr Burton was also managing director of Viking Fund Managers (VFM), which manages a number of funds based in Yorkshire and Humber.

Following Braveheart’s acquisition of Inkopo in 2009, VFM was the result of a strategic coupling - and subsequent renaming - of both this company and of NEON Capital Partners.

Trevor Brown, CEO of Braveheart, said: “I would like to thank Andrew for his contribution to the Company over the last two years and his excellent stewardship of Viking. We wish him the best in his retirement.”
