Early life
Direct descendant of Sir Richard Hoare, founder of Hoare's Bank in 1672 – the oldest family-owned Bank in the world. Born in Stourhead, Wiltshire, a location famous for its landscape garden designed by Sir Richard's grandson, Henry (The Magnificent). He attended Eton College from 1963 to 1967, where he was one of the first two pupils to be taught Portuguese.[1] He left home as a young man, living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 1968 to 1971, where he worked at The Bank of London & South America. He returned home and trained as a Chartered Accountant from 1972 to 1976. In 1977, he embarked on a trip around the world, during which he visited the Royal Chitwan National Park in Nepal, leading to his pioneering interest in environmental issues.
