Site references

This article doesn't site references or sources because the text is lifted directly from the C Hoare web site - a breach of copyright and NPOV? This comment was left by §©ʁİƃƀȴıŋ’ Ƨł₥ȫȠ ^{talk|contribs} 19:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)#[reply]

The page certainly needs revision. I do not think there is so much a NPOV issue (although I have deleted two entries which struck me as questionable) as it is largely a rehearsal of the bank's history. The main concern is that it appears to have been lifted from the bank's website.Informed Owl (talk) 13:34, 25 May 2008 (UTC)Informed Owl[reply]

I have added references throughout the text; I have also taken the opportunity to remove various material which, rather than being factual, was clearly a commentary that had been lifted from the site. Dormskirk (talk) 15:48, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Who was C. Hoare?

We have references to Richard, Henry, Benjamin, Peter.... Who gave their initial to the bank's current name?Moletrouser (talk) 09:44, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

it was Charles Hoare (a former senior partner). According to Hutchings (p.126) "in 1852 the practice of styling the bank by the name of the current senior partner was officially abandoned...the partners continued to sign as Charles Hoare and Co long after Charles's death in 1851."

Re removal of logo

The logo has been removed by the Marketing Department of C. Hoare & Co. as the Wiki link is being been used to perpetrate an advance fee fraud. We are also considering our Copyright position given that the logo is our Intellectual Property Hoaresbank (talk) 08:55, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If wikipedia is being used to effect any sort of fraud it should be reported to the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents without delay. I hope you get it sorted. Dormskirk (talk) 20:47, 27 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oldest bank??

Child and Co was founded in 1664. C. Hoare & Co is not the oldest bank in the UK.

Child & Co is no longer an independent bank: it is a subsidiary of RBS. Dormskirk (talk) 21:44, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmmm, but the bank still operates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.60.74 (talk) 18:54, 15 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not exactly "managed"

I changed the reference to being "managed" by the eleventh generation to "owned and led" as used by the company's website (on which you see that the chairman (Nick Macpherson, Baron Macpherson of Earl's Court) and the entire "Management Team" are non-family even though the family dominate the board). 96.250.80.27 (talk) 04:22, 3 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
