Vanguard Group Inc. has launched a hiring spree in the U.K. to staff its personal investment business that includes a newly created financial advice unit in the country.

The U.S. asset manager has recruited more than 60 people in the past year for the personal investor division in London and is planning to hire dozens more between now and April to deal with rising client numbers, according to Sean Hagerty, head of Europe. The hires, which have so far included financial planning experts, will focus mainly on client services roles, he said.
