Hargreave Hale is to open a Norwich office with the appointment of two investment managers, the UK investment management firm has announced.

Richard Larner and Paul Pearce, both joining from Brewin Dolphin, share over 50 years’ collective investment management experience.

Richard, who will head the branch, was a founding partner of Hill Osborne’s Norwich office, which subsequently became part of Brewin Dolphin. He served as head of the Norwich office from 2007.

Paul Pearce, who joins as investment manager, spent his early career with Barclays where he was a senior investment manager for Barclays Financial Services. He joined Brewin Dolphin in 2003 managing portfolios for individuals, trusts, pensions, charities and companies.

Larner and Pearce will open the Norwich office in August.

Stuart Brookes, joint managing director, Hargreave Hale, says: "Richard and Paul are talented investment managers and this is an exciting time for them to join our growing business.
