Cazenove has hired Conor Hillery from Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein's successful financial insitutions team as the independent UK broker steps up its advisory work for banks, insurers and investment funds.

Conor Hillery has resigned from DrKW to rejoin Tim Wise, managing director and head of Cazenove's financial institutions team. Wise headed Dresdner Kleinwort Benson's financial institutions team until July 1999.
