Dexion Capital plc (Dexion), investment bank, has appointed Tom Skinner as head of research.  Robert Peel has also been appointed by the bank to join the corporate finance team.

Following an internal reshuffle, Dexion has created a new product development area, led by Roy Kuo.

“These changes reflect Dexion’s continuing growth,” said Haurie. “We are particularly pleased at the appointment of such experienced and well regarded individuals. They each bring further depth and scope to the existing expertise within Dexion, giving us added firepower as we look forward to a busy and demanding 2012.”

Skinner joins the bank from his role as a senior research analyst at J.P. Morgan. Peel previously worked for the investment trusts team at Winterflood Securities Ltd.
