Michael Bishop joins Hawksmoor as Managing Director

Hawksmoor Investment Management welcomes Michael Bishop as the Company’s new Managing Director. Michael joins the firm with over 20 years’ experience in wealth management, having spent most of his career at UBS where he was head of the bank’s Ultra High Net Worth wealth management business across Northern Europe. He then moved to WH Ireland plc, an AIM-listed business offering broking and wealth management services, where he was Head of Wealth Management. This role comprised both discretionary investment management and financial planning. Michael is also a Board Trustee of The Land Trust.

Michael succeeds Sarah Soar, who has stepped down from the business after leading Hawksmoor for the last five years.

Hurst Point Group CEO Ian Gladman said: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sarah for her hard work and commitment to the business over the last five years and welcome Michael as her successor. I look forward to working closely with Michael to develop the investment management part of our business further in the coming years.”

Michael noted: “I am delighted to be joining Hawksmoor, which I have long regarded as a high-quality business with a genuinely client centric approach and culture, which fits my own philosophy.  The business has achieved a great deal in recent years and its aspirations for the future are clear and credible.  I am looking forward to meeting all the staff and working with them as we progress through the next stages of the business’ development.”
