Five Wealth, a Manchester-based wealth management firm, has appointed Glenn Urquhart as its new COO.

Bringing over 20 years’ experience in financial services operations, strategic planning and transformation, Urquhart joins Five Wealth from Verso Wealth Management, where he was head of operational service delivery.

He will lead on the implementation of process and technology change as well as the potential integration of acquisitions.

The news follows a period of significant progress for the firm, including surpassing £1bn in assets under management (AUM) in 2025.

Plans have also been set to double AUM again within the next three to four years.
