The new hire will be responsible for development and expansion of the firm's international operations.

South Africa-based Carrick Wealth Management has appointed Greg Stockton to head up all its international offices – Zimbabwe, Botswana, Malawi, and Mauritius – following his promotion to its board of directors.

Stockton entered the financial services sector in 2003 in a business development role, progressing to other roles as a senior financial advisor, senior manager and regional manager. 

In 2014, he moved to Cape Town, and three years later joined Carrick.

He will be responsible for the development and expansion of the firm’s international operations.

“Greg joined us in July 2017, and brought to the company a wealth of experience, an infectious passion, an embracing enthusiasm, and an inspirational innovative approach,” said chief executive Craig Featherby. “He will now be responsible for the development and expansion of our international entities, beginning with Kenya in the first quarter. The potential in Africa is obvious. Over the next decade, this is where the growth is going to come from globally. There are so many Africans – Zimbabweans, Zambians, Malawians, Kenyans – who have worked in UK and have repatriated back home and who need advice as to what to do with their money. It’s exciting. There are more people returning than ever before because of the potential here.”

The firm has offices in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban, Mauritius, Zimbabwe, and Botswana.
