Equinox Global chief executive Mike Holley (pictured above) said: “As the business continues to grow, having Adrian’s experience and industry understanding will be of great benefit to Equinox Global and to all our clients. One of the strengths of the business is the quality of our people and with that in mind we are delighted that Adrian has agreed to join the board.”

Lewers said: “Equinox Global is currently in a very exciting position as it continues to expand its market share and earn a reputation for its open approach and exceptional service. I am certain that the management team will continue to develop the significant growth potential of the business.”
