Article Abstract:

Private banking and financial institutions in the West Midlands, England, are seeing larger deals and new wealth which is helping the sector grow.

There are more investors with amounts of some 150,000 pounds sterling to invest than five years prior to 1995, which is helping the private banking sector.
