Hawksford’s Head of Private Client Services Darren Kelland has been included in a recently published guide identifying the ‘most influential’ professionals shaping the private client landscape.
Darren (pictured) is recognised in the 2026 edition of eprivateclient’s Most Influential list, which aims to identify the trailblazing practitioners who are making the biggest impact in the UK and Crown Dependencies’ private client sector and are shaping the future of the industry.
With a formidable reputation both as a trustee and a director on complex trust structures, family offices and multinational companies, Darren’s career spans some 30 years – the last 20 of which have been spent in senior fiduciary services roles. An experienced guardian when it comes to managing the assets and financial affairs of ultra-high net worth individuals and families, Darren is responsible for leading the management of Hawksford’s multijurisdictional private client services proposition.
Commenting on being included in the eprivateclient 2026 Most Influential, Darren said: “Industry recognition reflects the high standards we hold ourselves to as a multijurisdictional team at Hawksford – a team that is fully focused on delivering exceptional service to private clients and families around the world, and that continues to innovate in the face of complex global challenges.
“This accolade is only possible because of the fantastic team I am proud to be a part of.”
