Fergus Hoke, head of fixed income sales ex-Germany and head of financial institutions coverage at WestLB in London, has left the firm. Hoke could not be reached and it could not be determined if he is set for a role elsewhere. John Godfrey, spokesman in London, confirmed the departure, adding his duties will be split into two roles and filled shortly by internal staff. Hoke reported to Werner Taiber, managing director and head of distribution and capital markets in Germany, who could not be reached by press time. Prior to WestLB, Hoke was global head of fixed income sales at HypoVereinsbank.
