The firm remains open to applications, and is looking to bring in new talent across the organisation.

Gary Bailey, managing director of Hope Capital, added: “Our doors are always open to new talent, at all levels.
“Firms have an important responsibility to provide opportunities for young people, and a strong interest in nurturing the talent that will help the industry to succeed in the future.”
Thompson said: “I am excited to be completing my business administration apprenticeship at Hope Capital.
“I love new challenges and I am finding the specialist finance sector very interesting. I was a manager in a very different industry before, so moving into the financial sector has been a big change.”
Hazlett said: “I achieved an A* in ICT at school and I wanted to put my software skills to good use. I did not know much about finance to begin with, but at Hope Capital I am learning new things every day.
“I feel I am starting to get a good understanding of what all the different departments do and how the business fits together.
“I know that Hope Capital will be a great help with my career development. My ambition would be to lead a department here one day.”
