In his expanded role, the firm says that Mr Blackburn will continue to work closely with the Group CEO and Holdings Board, with a particular emphasis on working with the Group heads of both Institutional Client Services (ICS) and Private Client Services (PCS).
Commenting on the promotion, Nigel Le Quesne, CEO JTC, said:
“Dean’s appointment to the Group Holdings Board is integral for the Group, most notably given his ability to enable the strategic growth plan. Dean has shown his capability to make a clear difference and I have no doubt that he will continue to make every success of this significant appointment.”
Mr Blackburn added:
“Since joining JTC, I have been hugely impressed by our people, culture and ambition to serve our clients better every day. We’ve achieved a great deal over the last few years, and I’m delighted to have been given an opportunity to play a greater role in supporting our clients and people further maximise their potential during the next phase of our plans.”
The changes will take effect immediately.
