Emily Corbett

Spear’s Review

As one of the leading private client specialists in the south west, Emily Corbett joined C. Hoare & Co. in 2014 from the Swedish bank Handelsbanken, where she supported HNW clients in Bath and Bristol. 

Corbett’s arrival at C. Hoare & Co. – the UK’s oldest privately owned bank – was seen as a sign of its continued expansion into the region following the successful establishment of its Cambridge branch in 2019. The latter was the bank’s first regional office for more than 350 years. 

The bank’s director, Venetia Hoare, says that Bath is a natural candidate for its second one. ‘The family has enjoyed close connections with the region dating back many centuries,’ she says – not least the fact that Jane Austen was once a customer.
