Darryn Richards, head of Brewin Dolphin’s Truro office, commented: “It has been a difficult year for the economy and the markets so we are very pleased to have done well in Cornwall and to have contributed to the group’s 10% increase in income.

“Both the team here and our clients have been stoic throughout and I am sure we will continue to be so as we go on growing the business in the year ahead.”

Brewin Dolphin executive chairman Jamie Matheson added: “Stock market sentiment remains fractious with the eurozone debt crisis and the possibility of another recession causing concern.
