Hampden & Co has hired Gill Sanders from Adam & Co as a banking director.
She spent more than 20 years with Adam & Co, most recently as associate director for private banking.
Switching private banks, Sanders will now provide clients with a bespoke service including deposits, borrowing and day-to-day banking. He will report to head of banking Mark Prentice and will work alongside the teams in Edinburgh and London.
Other recent Hampden & Co staff additions include Hannah Berridge as head of professional partnerships and Jon Peake as chief financial officer.
Chief executive Graeme Hartop said: “The private banking market is changing and we are attracting many new clients who value our relationship-driven approach.
“As we grow to meet the banking needs of these clients across the UK, we are adding experience to our team while also developing talented people.”
Sanders added: “Hampden & Co continues to go from strength to strength and has rightly gained an enviable reputation in the market for its client-focused approach - I look forward to bringing my experience to deliver for our clients.”
In April, Hampden & Co reported that its deposits had risen by 39% to £696m during 2021, while loans and advances were up 29% to £422m.
The bank saw strong demand in 2021 for its tailored lending solutions, which include residential, retirement, family guarantor, multi-property and buy-to-let mortgages. It extended its product suite with the launch of self-build mortgages and financing for eco-friendly home and renewable energy initiatives.
In June, Hampden teamed up with Hiscox Private Client, with both organisations collaborating to offer bespoke and flexible insurance solutions for the bank’s clients.
