Stonehage Fleming, the independently owned multi-family offices, has appointed Priyanka Hindocha as head of the UK family office.

Hindocha (pictured) joined Stonehage Fleming’s UK family office team as a senior associate in 2019, having previously spent five years in the private client services team at Deloitte.

She was appointed director at Stonehage Fleming in 2021, before being promoted to partner in June of this year.

Over her career, she has gained extensive experience supporting an international client base of high-net-worth families across the whole range of their affairs, from strategic decision making to governance and succession planning, and tailoring the Group’s services to the complex, individual requirements of each family.

As head of UK family office, Hindocha will oversee the UK family office business and work closely with key stakeholders to ensure continued growth of the business and collective achievement for the UK family office team.

She will continue to be based in London and will report to Greg Harris, head of family office – British Islands. The appointment is effective immediately.

She is the latest in a series of appointments which now sees six of Stonehage Fleming’s family office businesses led by women: Kim Brown in the Isle of Man; Gillian Ralston Jordan in Guernsey; Lorna Beckley in Geneva; Caroline Bauer in Zurich; and Jacqui Cheshire as Head of Switzerland.

Greg Harris, head of family office – British Islands, said: “Over the last five years Priyanka has provided our clients with the highest standard of strategic advice and expert analysis to guide them through complex affairs. We know she is absolutely the right choice to lead our UK Family Office and we look forward to supporting Priyanka in her new leadership role.”

Hindocha added: “It is an interesting time for families and family offices, with themes such as political uncertainty, risk management and navigating the transition to the next generation to consider. However, Stonehage Fleming’s position as one of the world’s leading independent multi-family offices means that we are perfectly placed to manage our clients’ needs, however varied and complex.

"It has been a rewarding five years with the team and I am proud to have the opportunity to lead us to greater growth as we support many of the world’s leading families and wealth creators across generations and geographies.”
