The Spear’s Power List honours the leading executives, entrepreneurs and ‘powerbrokers’ who influence the world of private wealth and the lives of the wealthy. It highlights those whose impact extends beyond direct client relationships, showcasing the heavyweights who shape the industry behind the scenes.
The recognition of Quentin and Roger by Spear’s cements a really exciting time for the business – we have increased our new banker hires, expanded our UK reach – building our presence in the northwest and adding more space to our Edinburgh office. Last month, we launched a new business banking service and added new cards and services for clients.
Quentin Marshall, our Chief Executive Officer, is a previous winner of Spear’s UK Private Banker of the Year. Since succeeding our current Chairman, Roger Weatherby (who also appears on the Power List) in September 2023, Quentin has ensured a path of continued growth while remaining true to the values that have underpinned the Weatherbys family business for more than 250 years.
Meanwhile, Roger, in his role as Chairman, has continued his family’s deep association with the Bank. He also remains the driving force behind the Bank’s influential Creating the Future programme, which he conceived in 2018. The programme continues to go from strength to strength, with events throughout the year that stimulate discussion of the critical societal and environmental challenges we and future generations face.
The Power List is published by Spear’s, a wealth management and luxury lifestyle magazine, described as a cross between Forbes and Vanity Fair. It has been created for the affluent financial services community, including the bankers, lawyers and family offices who advise the wealthy.
