Financial services specialist recruiter Eximius Group has launched a private banking recruitment business to add its five existing teams.

Eximius Private Banking is headed by James Morton, along with recently appointed Ayse Ozturk, and will focus on placing private bankers and wealth managers in London, Switzerland and Asia.

Eximius Group chief executive Nick Stevens says: “Eximius is well positioned to offer both clients and candidates fantastic service given our relationships in the financial services market. Having put the group in a position of strength with our existing businesses, we will be actively leveraging these relationships to build the private banking offering.”
