Previously, Wells worked for five years at Brown Advisory, most recently as an associate portfolio manager, and began his career as a stockbroker at Redmayne-Bentley.

Elliott, who is also head of investment management at Castlefield, said: "As an employee-owned firm, we place great importance on maintaining an environment that not only enables the team to flourish but also helps us attract talented individuals. 

"With an impressive professional track record as a stockbroker, analyst and most recently as a portfolio manager, Callum has multi-faceted experience which will complement that of our team.

"We extend a warm welcome to Callum and look forward to the benefit of his insight, working with him on the Sustainable Portfolio funds and platform models."
