Credit Suisse has been appointed joint broker, alongside Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein, to FTSE 250 office services company Regis Group. It is the Swiss bank's seventh corporate broking mandate in the last 12 months.

Last year Credit Suisse gained three FTSE 100 brokerships, and in December the bank moved Michael Lever, co-head of European banking research, to the corporate broking business, bringing to six the number of managing directors in the operation.
