Hampden: Set for growth
Hampden and Co said it was on track to deliver its first full-year profit this year, owing much of that to growth in its mortgage business. It said business introduced by intermediaries had increased by 30 per cent to £100m.
It has also expanded its team this year with the recruitment of Gill Sanders as banking director, Hannah Berridge as head of professional partnerships and Jon Peake as CFO.
Hartop said: “The demand for private banking is constantly evolving and we continue to attract many new clients who value our dedicated, relationship-driven approach. As we grow, we are expanding our team to meet the banking needs of our client base across the UK.”
Prentice added: “Both Kevin and Alistair are highly respected and experienced private bankers who have a proven track-record of building trusted relationships with clients, managing their wealth and supporting their banking needs. We are delighted to welcome them both to our growing team.”
