In his new role, Plummer will lead the London team of bankers and report to chief commercial officer, Andrew Bell.
The bank has also recently welcomed John Glanville, Kevin Eagles, Alistair Macpherson, Gill Saunders as banking directors, and Hannah Berridge as head of professional partnerships. By the end of 2022, Hampden & Co had 125 staff members, up from 102.
