Brewin Dolphin has appointed Richard Annis as head of its Leeds office, replacing Michael Craven, who is retiring next month. Craven had led the Yorkshire branch since 2007 after first joining the wealth firm in 1990 as a trainee investment manager. Annis (pictured) has worked at Brewin's Leeds office since 1993, when he joined as a graduate trainee and worked his way up to senior investment manager.

Other recent regional office changes include Geraint Hampson-Jones being appointed head of Brewin's Cardiff branch in January, as his predecessor David Myrddin-Evans became head of charities in Wales.
