The UK private bank Hampden & Co has appointed Tracey Davidson as its new CEO.

She will take over for CEO Graeme Hartop, who has departed Hampden & Co after eleven years.

Davidson was previously the deputy CEO of Handelsbanken UK and chair of Handelsbanken Wealth & Asset Management. She joined Handelsbanken from Barclays in 2003 to help strengthen the Swedish bank’s UK business.

At the Chartered Institute for Securities & Investment (CISI), she serves as Chair of the Integrity and Ethics Committee in addition to being a board member of the Personal Investment Management & Financial Advice Association (PIMFA).

Davidson stated: “In 2015, Hampden & Co launched as the first new UK private bank in 30 years. Since then, it has garnered a strong reputation for excellent client service and tailored products. I see the potential for strong growth as UK customers increasingly seek a more personalised banking service from a bank that understands their needs. I am excited to join Hampden & Co and I look forward to leading the team to further success in the years ahead.”

Hampden & Co provides banking, deposit, loan, and foreign exchange services to high-net-worth individuals, families, and enterprises.
