Hargreave Hale has welcomed three investment managers from Charles Stanley to its new Nottingham office.

UK investment manager Hargreave Hale has appointed Charles Stanley's Riccardo Landucci, Michael Harvey and Helen English to spearhead its new branch in Nottingham.

The trio will be responsible for providing discretionary investment management services to private clients, intermediaries, corporates, charities and trusts, as well as advisory services.

The expansion follows Hargreave Hale's recent office opening in York and comes ahead of its launch in Norwich. In January, the firm relocated its Worcester business to a larger office to accommodate new recruits.

“The opening of a Nottingham office is another signal of our intent to expand the business and in doing so, recruit talented investment professionals who buy into our customer first ethos,” said Hargreave Hale's joint managing director, Stuart Brookes.

The firm's expansion has seen its funds under management double to £4.5 billion ($6.99 billion) over the last two years, with its total headcount now over 200.
