Oliver Barnett

Head of Private Clients

Having joined the Private Bank in 2017, Oliver is Head of Private Clients and is based at our London office.  Oliver is ultimately responsible for overseeing all of the private banking teams across all of our offices, as well as ensuring our proposition remains at the forefront of the market.  In addition, Oliver continues to manage a small, diverse portfolio of his own clients, providing bespoke advice on their credit and investment-related requirements. He is principally supported by Jane Wyles, Principal Private Banking Executive.

Oliver’s expertise as a Private Banker is underpinned by his significant experience and the professional qualifications which he has accumulated throughout his career. These include the PCIAM, CeMAP, IAD and the CeFA. Additionally, before joining Weatherbys, Oliver was in the Army, leaving as a Captain in the Scots Guards.

His experience encompasses a broad range of client types, including entrepreneurs, professionals and land owners.  This enables Oliver to ensure the Private Bank and all bankers provide carefully tailored advice on a wide range of different topics, which spans both sides of clients’ personal balance sheets. Oliver understands that resolving complicated issues with bespoke solutions requires a thorough understanding of, and deep relationship with, each client, which is something he promotes passionately throughout the team.

Meanwhile, while outside of Weatherbys, Oliver will be found spending time with his young family.
