The co-head of corporate broking at Deutsche Bank has jumped to Nomura, leaving a veteran of the German bank in sole charge of the business in the same week that it secured a high-profile FTSE 100 broking mandate.

Nick Bowers, who spent the last five-and-a-half years at the top of Deutsche Bank's corporate broking unit, will be joining Nomura in August as co-head of UK investment banking, alongside Adrian Fisk, a veteran of Lehman Brothers who is also head of European M&A at Nomura. Bowers joined Deutsche Bank in 2009 after 10 years at Credit Suisse.
