Based in London, Ms Berridge reports to chief commercial officer, Andrew Bell.

In her role, Ms Berridge will focus on further building the bank’s relationships with professional service firms and intermediaries including wealth managers, mortgage brokers, financial advisers, solicitors, accountants, family offices, and property consultants.

Ms Berridge joins from C. Hoare & Co. where she developed and managed partner relationships with legal, accountancy and wealth management firms, as well as serving the banking needs of clients. Prior to this, she worked as a private banker at Coutts.

Hannah Berridge said: “Hampden & Co has experienced growing demand from a broad range of intermediaries in recent years. With our focus exclusively on banking, we work in partnership rather than compete with other professionals. We are well-placed to help their clients optimise their borrowing and to safeguard their deposits, whilst providing a highly personalised day-to-day banking service. I very much look forward to strengthening and growing our network of professional partners.”

Andrew Bell added: “We are delighted to welcome Hannah to Hampden & Co. She brings an extensive knowledge of the sector and a proven ability to build and maintain strong relationships with clients and professionals.”
