Hampden is a privately owned group founded on independent thinking. We have a reputation for opening up opportunities, valuing evidence over hearsay and coming to our own conclusions.
This strong independent character, a primary benefit of being family owned, can be traced back to the establishment of the group some forty years ago, and still further to the story of John Hampden, the inspiration behind our name.
One of the leading figures in the English Civil War, John Hampden’s determination and freedom of thought is a quality we look to exhibit throughout our organisation today.
We demonstrate our own independent thinking by having confidence in our ideas, challenging accepted wisdom, not accepting the world at face value, and taking the initiative.
In the realm of financial services, these guiding principles allow us to develop areas of the market that are under-served, as well as offering alternative investment products to both private clients, companies and institutions.
So whether you are looking to invest in the Lloyd’s market, need accountancy advice or a private bank, you will find our way of thinking empowers us to create better solutions for all our clients.
