Mirabaud Securities has strengthened its secondary brokerage business with the appointment of Patrick Mayhew (pictured) to lead the equity sales team, and Will Draper to become head of equity research.

Both join from Espirito Santo in London and have been tasked with enhancing Mirabaud’s sales and research capabilities in secondary brokerage. The appointments signal a firm ambition in Mirabaud’s equities capabilities and come on the back of a strong performance over the past few years.
 
Giles Morland, partner, and chairman of Mirabaud Securities, says: “We are delighted to welcome two such high-profile and talented people to lead our secondary sales and research teams. We have a first-class equities team with a track record to prove it and these hires will strengthen the offering and enhance our ambitions in the market.”
 
With a degree from Cambridge University and five years as an officer in the British Army, Mayhew began his banking career in 1996 with Merrill Lynch, and moved to Execution Noble (which later became Espirito Santo) in 2009, where he was most recently head of pan-European equity sales.
 
Draper joined BP in 1988 after graduating from Durham University, and his career since then spans Accenture, HSBC James Capel and Lehman Brothers, where he was a top-rated telecoms analyst. He joined Execution Noble (which later became Espirito Santo) in 2004, where most recently he was head of European equities research.
