Magic Circle Awards Special: William Ladenburg, Private Client Director, Close Brothers
What was the pivotal moment in your career?
I think leaving accountancy which I did after three, for me quite torturous, years and I moved into the investment management. It proved to be the correct decision few years later.
Who has been a good influence on you?
In Close Brothers, it has been Nancy Curtin, she has definitely been a great influence on me and a great mentor. Also Penny Lovell who has been with us for three years now. She has been a great mentor and I am very appreciative of that. Outside of work, I would say my first son who was born quite ill with lots of difficulties. He has been a great inspiration.
