Chiene + Tait makes senior financial planner appointment

Edinburgh-based Chiene + Tait Financial Planning (CTFP) has appointed Craig Reed, an experienced wealth adviser, to strengthen its team.

Mr Reed joins with nearly two decades of financial services experience within the UK market.

After working with NatWest Bank early in his career, Mr Reed was recruited as an account manager at Standard Life in a Midlands-based role where he was responsible for managing the relationship between the firm and its panel of independent financial advisers.

In 2014 he relocated to Scotland, joining Seven Investment Management (7IM).

He then moved into client advisory roles at St James’s Place and Balmoral Asset Management before taking on his new position as Financial Planner at CTFP.

Mr Reed holds a Diploma in Financial Planning and Advanced Diploma in Pensions and is currently completing his Chartered Financial Planner qualification.

Mark Dobson, director of CTFP, said: “Craig has an excellent track record and brings an in depth range of financial planning experience to the firm. He is a most welcome addition to the team whose experience will help us further grow our business and build on our existing strong client relationships.”
