TrinityBridge has announced a leadership transition at the top of the firm, with chief executive Eddy Reynolds set to step down in September after more than three years at the helm.

He will be succeeded by Nigel Stockton, subject to regulatory approval.

Reynolds, who joined the wealth manager in March 2022, has overseen a period of significant growth and strategic evolution. During his tenure, assets under management increased from £16bn to £21bn, with the firm expanding its footprint through five new regional offices and a planned relocation to a new Marylebone headquarters in the autumn.

He also led the firm through a pivotal phase in its corporate journey, including the acquisition of IFA business Bottriell Adams LPP in 2023 and the sale of the company to funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management in September 2024.

That transaction completed in February 2025, with the business continuing to operate independently. The TrinityBridge name was unveiled shortly afterwards, in March.

Following years of weekly commutes between his home in Edinburgh and the London head office, Reynolds has indicated he will take time out before deciding on his next role.

“It has been an immense privilege to lead TrinityBridge and to work alongside such a talented team,” said Reynolds.

“I wish everyone at TrinityBridge well and look forward to seeing the business thrive under Nigel’s leadership.”

PE-BACKED BACKGROUND

Stockton brings a strong track record in private equity backed financial services firms. He previously served as chief executive of Ascot Lloyd, also backed by Oaktree, for eight years. He oversaw its growth and eventual sale to Nordic Capital in 2022.

Oaktree managing director Federico Álvarez Demalde praised Reynolds for his “positivity, drive, and energy” during a period of transformation, adding: “Eddy leaves a business that has grown immensely compared to the one he joined more than three years ago.”

He welcomed Stockton’s arrival, highlighting the incoming CEO’s “experience and expertise” as key to driving the next stage of the firm’s development.

Stockton, who officially joins TrinityBridge on 1 September, said he was “thrilled” to take on the role and committed to continuing the current strategy.

“Clients will remain at the heart of what we do,” he said. “By continuing to prioritise both our clients and our colleagues, I see no reason why TrinityBridge won’t be one of the UK’s leading integrated wealth managers in the years to come.”
