The Group Founder and Managing Director of Imperium Group has been named “most influential” by a finance website.

David Gilmour will receive his award from eprivateclient at a champagne reception in London in April.

Mr Gilmour had strengthened the firm’s business, expanded its senior team and supported a growing number of structures and clients across multiple jurisdictions, a spokesperson said.

Euan Melrose, Head of Business Development, said the recognition was “well deserved” and the staff and management were “incredibly proud”.

He added: “David’s leadership has guided the business through a period of significant growth and strategic expansion, and this accolade reflects the reputation he has earned across the industry.”

The spokesperson said the award underscored the group’s “commitment to excellence, long-term partnerships and consistently high standards of service delivery”.
