Investment expert Mark McMullan is celebrating after being
promoted to assistant director position at Wise Speke, the North
East’s leading provider of investment management and
financial services.
Mark, 33, who works in the company’s Teesside office,
joined Wise Speke in 2001 as an investment advisor, and from there
was swiftly promoted to investment manager. Specialising in the
management of portfolios for private clients, Mark has now
progressed to the senior role of assistant director in less than
six years.
Commenting on his recent promotion, Mark said: “It
feels great to have made it this far through the ranks of the
company. I’ve greatly enjoyed my work during the past few
years and my passion for investment management is still
undiminished. I’m looking forward to the next six
years!”
William Baker Baker, head of Wise Speke in Teesside, said: “Mark has been an excellent asset to the company, and it
gives us great pleasure to promote him to assistant director.
There’s a bright future for him here and we look forward to
continuing to work with him for a long time.”
Mark, born and bred in Darlington, graduated from Birmingham
University with a Banking & Finance degree in 1997 and started
his career as a stockbroker with Lloyds. He moved back to the North
East at the beginning of 2001 to take up his career with Wise
Speke.
Wise Speke is a division of Brewin Dolphin and employs more than
300 people in its Newcastle and Teesside offices. In February it
will adopt the name of its parent company, Brewin Dolphin.
