C. Hoare & Co, the UK’s oldest privately owned bank, has hired Hayley Layt as a relationship manager as part of its expansion in Cambridge.

Layt will work in the Cambridge office, continuing the firm’s expansion in the region.

The appointment follows the opening of the C. Hoare & Co’s Cambridge office in March 2019, the bank’s first outside of London.

Previously, Layt was a director of client management at RBS, where she spent over 15 years. Furthermore, she held roles at Alliance & Leicester and HSBC.

Venetia Hoare, partner and director, said: “We are pleased by the progress made by our Cambridge office since opening, and the friendly reception we have received. This appointment will further support the growth of the office and we continue to be excited by the opportunities to expand our customer base and strengthen our relationship with existing customers in the area.

“Cambridge is a home for innovative and fast-growing businesses, and we believe our bespoke and personal relationship led approach resonates strongly with entrepreneurs. Equally our heritage and track record working with large agricultural businesses and estates is highly relevant in East Anglia.”
