C Hoare & Co, the UK private bank, has expanded with an additional 30,000 square feet office space next to its current headquarters in Fleet Street, London.

A spokesperson for the bank said that it is intending to house 300 of its 350 staff members in the new office space. The bank did not wish to make further comments about the development.

In other recent developments, back in May C Hoare & Co appointed Charles Pink as a non-executive director. Pink was previously chief executive of ASB Bank, the New Zealand banking subsidiary of Commonwealth Bank of Australia. Before that he worked for Barclays, notably having been seconded to serve as the first CEO of First Caribbean International Bank, a joint venture between Barclays and CIBC.
