Hurst Point Group has appointed Michael Bishop as managing director of its investment management division, comprising principally Hawksmoor Investment Management and Gore Browne Investment Management.
Bishop succeeds Sarah Soar, who having led Hawksmoor over the last five years, has stepped down from the business.
Having started his career with Arthur Andersen and PwC, Bishop has spent more than 20 years in wealth management – initially with UBS, rising to head the bank’s Ultra High Net Worth wealth management business across Northern Europe.
In 2022, he moved to WH Ireland plc, an AIM-listed business offering broking and wealth management services, where he was Head of Wealth Management, with responsibility for discretionary investment management and financial planning advice. Bishop is presently a Board Trustee of The Land Trust.
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 in further developing our investment management business in the coming years.”
