Future Capital Partners, a £6 billion (US$10 billion) alternative investment boutique, has appointed Andrew Derrington to its business development team. 

Derrington joins FCP from Mercury Tax Group where he jointly ran the London office.  At Mercury he was actively involved in business development and technical work.  This involved building relationships with new introducers such as IFAs and accountants and advising on property transactions using offshore vehicles.

Future has enjoyed rapid growth in our clientele of late, and we hope that Andrew can help to continue that momentum.”
