Career

Raised near Smithfield Market in London, Richard Hoare began his working life apprenticed to a goldsmith. He was granted the Freedom of the Goldsmiths' Company on 5 July 1672. This date marks the foundation of C. Hoare & Co as it was around then that Hoare established his goldsmith's business at the sign of the Golden Bottle in Cheapside, London.

He was knighted by Queen Anne in 1702, appointed Sheriff of London for 1710, and elected Lord Mayor of London for 1712.

He married Susanna Austen; they had 17 children (one of whom was Henry Hoare I). He died at Hendon in January 1719.

Famous quotes containing the word career:

    I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.
    William Cobbett (1762–1835)

    Work-family conflicts—the trade-offs of your money or your life, your job or your child—would not be forced upon women with such sanguine disregard if men experienced the same career stalls caused by the-buck-stops-here responsibility for children.
    Letty Cottin Pogrebin (20th century)

    I’ve been in the twilight of my career longer than most people have had their career.
    Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
