Business of the Year opens London office

At an event marking the opening its London office, Guy Christie, newly-appointed director of the London operation, told 200 clients, advisers and investment managers that the business was pursuing further growth.

'As we expand into new markets, not only do we anticipate new opportunities but we also expect to develop and deepen our research.

'This will ensure that we can continue to help our clients get the very best out of the investment management industry,' he said.

Graham Harrison, group managing director, said: 'Under Guy Christie's stewardship, ARC intends to use the London office to not just to help service existing clients and contacts, but also to develop its service offering, particularly to wealth advisers and to charities.

'The three parts of ARC's business – investment consulting to private clients and charities, manager research and performance reporting – are each well placed to experience significant growth over the coming years.

'The London office represents a key step in ARC's plans to deliver its services to a larger market.'
