Article Abstract:
NatWest Markets' merger and acquisition advisory business Hawkpoint is establishing itself as a different type of organisation from JO Hambro Magan. The fact that five former JO Hambro Magan executives, including Murray Orr, have chosen to leave Hawkpoint, emphasizes the point. Hawkpoint is not a boutique, according to Hawkpoint Chairman George Magan. It has a staff of 120 and it is linked with, although separate from, NatWest's acquisition finance. Major advisory projects which Hawkpoint has worked on since its Apr 1998 launch include work for ICI and Sutcliffe Speakman.
