Mr Overy said the DMS and associated dependant accounts would enable Saunderson House to build on its younger client base.

"We want to engage with our clients who have children that will inherit wealth," Mr Overy said.

"When they are able to manage their wealth, we will meet with these clients. At the moment we have 1,000 potential dependent clients."
