O’Grady will take on the role of director of business development from 5 February, working alongside former Williams de Broë colleagues Henry Rising, Jim Wood-Smith and Jill Gill.
The appointment comes as Hawksmoor seeks to expand its client portfolio, with the aim of utilising O’Grady’s 35 years’ experience in marketing fund and investment management services, in tandem with head of business development Dan Constable.
John Crowley, Hawksmoor chief executive, said: “Robin is well-known marketing professional, particularly in the South and South West, and he brings to Hawksmoor a wealth of knowledge and experience of the adviser community.
“Robin will help Hawksmoor to reinforce our presence and reputation as we enter a period of rapid growth. Robin’s recruitment underlines our absolute commitment to the professional adviser market at a time of huge opportunity for the financial services profession.”
