Rennie Hoare

Spear’s Review

‘Our purpose, as an organisation, is to be both good bankers and good citizens,’ explains Rennie Hoare, scion of the banking dynasty that began with the founding of C. Hoare & Co. in 1672. ‘The successful combination of these ideals has allowed us to thrive for 11 generations and stands us, we hope, in good stead for many more.’

As a partner of C. Hoare & Co., a previous Spear’s Awards Philanthropy Adviser of the Year and the bank’s head of philanthropy, Hoare has successfully built upon the bank’s foundations, winning widespread recognition for his vision and energy.

‘Discussions about philanthropy are an opportunity for us to hear what motivates customers and to understand their passions,’ he says.
