Au revoir, Darier Hentsch

Lombard Odier, formerly branded Lombard Odier Darier Hentsch, the Swiss private bank, has dropped the last part of its name as part of a rebranding effort.

Lombard Odier merged with Darier Hentsch back in 2002, and has dropped the last part of the name because it was "a bit of a mouthful", according to a spokesman.

From now on the Geneva-based bank will call itself Lombard Odier.

"In order to enhance the firm’s reputation and visibility in the international markets, the partners decided in favour of simplifying the brand name, although the company name will stay the same," said Pierre Darier, managing partner.

Relocation, relocation, relocation

Banks have never been shy of firing staff at the merest whiff of a downturn. First the fat, then the muscle and finally the bone. In the past, cuts have been so deep that firms have found it hard to benefit when the markets rebounded, paying over the odds to restaff at speed. Such wild oscillations in staffing numbers are known as “doing a Merrill”.
