Charles Hoare-Nairne has been appointed investment director of C. Hoare & Co. He joins from Rathbones where he had been in a similar position for five years and before that Mr Hoare-Nairne worked for Kleinwort Benson Private Bank. The position is a new one. In a statement from the London-based bank, Mr Hoare-Nairne’s position was created to "relieve Alexander Hoare, the chief executive, of direct oversight of the firm’s investment activities". Mr Hoare-Nairne is related to the Hoare family, which has controlled the bank since it was founded in 1672. The bank added in a statement that further recruitment had taken place in its professional services department and that it was close to appointing a head of financial planning.
