Richard Quintin "Tigger" Hoare (1943 - 2020). English banker at C. Hoare & Co., the oldest extant bank in the United Kingdom.
Youngest son of Quintin Hoare and Lucy (née Selwyn), he was the scion of the landed gentry family of that name, founders, in 1672, of the eponymous private bank.
After leaving school in 1960, he was articled to a chartered accountancy firm before joining the family bank a few years later. At C. Hoare he rose quickly to become a partner in 1969 and later deputy chair.
In 1970 Hoare married his second cousin, the Hon Frances Evelyn Hogg (a teacher and maistrate), by whom he had two sons, Alexander and Charles, and a daughter, Elizabeth.
In 1983 he founded the Bulldog Trust, to provide support and advice for charities facing immediate financial difficulties. The trust is based at and owns Two Temple Place in the City of London.
