Greg is also a seasoned adviser in Hong Kong with an exemplary reputation and brings a raft of experience that will only add further value to an already well-established office."

Mr Conlin said: "I'm looking forward to the role and excited by the potential with Holborn in the region. Ed has certainly given us a great platform on which to build and we all wish him every success in his new role."

Mr Miller added: "It's an exciting time to be joining Holborn. They are a new player in the HK market and they are already attracting a lot of attention here for all the right reasons, I look forward to being part of the team and contributing towards the company's success."
