The investment manager announced plans for the new presence back in February and appointed Brewin Dolphin duo Richard Larner and Paul Pearce as investment managers to spearhead the launch.

Earlier this year, the firm consolidated its Norwich and Ipswich offices to create an East Anglia base.

“We are delighted to have joined such a well-established and ambitious firm, which importantly provides the right framework for us to deliver a first class, personalised investment service. We look forward to welcoming clients – old and new – to our office in the coming months,” commented Larner, who will head the office.

Larner was the founding partner of Hill Osborne’s Norwich office, which subsequently became part of Brewin Dolphin.

Hargreave Hale has £4.85 billion ($7.5 billion) assets under management for private clients, intermediaries, corporates, charities and trusts.
