Wealth Club has hired communications specialist Jo Thorne as their new Head of Public Relations.

Alex Davies, CEO, Wealth Club said:

”Jo is a well-known and highly regarded communications specialist who has worked in financial PR for over 22 years including for Coutts, firstDirect, HSBC, Lansons and most recently Hargreaves Lansdown. In her role, Jo will be responsible for implementing the media strategy for the business and will facilitate the creation of analysis and commentary across a broad range of subjects including comment on privately owned companies, companies listed on AIM, IPO’s, financial markets, macroeconomics and research from the team of in-house analysts. She will also support the launch of our new private asset funds and discretionary fund management service. Her addition will strengthen our depth of experience and knowledge, and support the expansion of commentary across the media.”

Jo Thorne, Head of Public Relations at Wealth Club said:

“I am very excited to be joining Wealth Club, the Bristol based financial services company that since its launch in 2016 has already become the UK’s largest investment intermediary for sophisticated investors, with 9,000 active clients who have invested over £900 million into new businesses in need of funds to fuel growth. This is a very exciting period of rapid growth both for the business and the venture capital sector, as there are a large number of privately owned and AIM listed companies seeking investment. I am looking forward to building on its existing reputation and, working alongside other companies within the sector, raising awareness across the print, digital and broadcast media of the compelling government endorsed tax-incentivised schemes aimed at supporting enterprise, job creation and the growth of British businesses.

Wealth Club’s philosophy is to provide sophisticated and high-net-worth investors with easy access to a wide range of alternative investment opportunities backed up with in-depth but simple to understand research. So far this tax year £242 million has been invested through Wealth Club, a 107% increase on the same period last year. The fast growth and compelling collection of well researched products, such as VCTs, EIS and AIM portfolios and direct investment in private companies, partnered with ambitions to launch more products and build on the growth trajectory, make this an incredible opportunity.”
