Ambrian Hires Leading Life Sciences Equities Team 
 
 
LONDON, 5 January 2010 - Ambrian Partners Limited ("Ambrian"), a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of Ambrian Capital plc, has hired a leading life sciences equities 
team to be led by Julian Burn-Callander, a former Head of Equity Sales and 
founding partner of Code (now Nomura Code) Securities. 
 
 
Prior to Nomura Code Securities Julian Burn-Callander, who has been in the 
equity markets for over thirty years, previously led Healthcare Specialist Sales 
at Panmure Gordon and was formerly Head of Equity Sales at SocGen. He will be 
joined by three highly experienced life sciences analysts, also founding 
partners of Code Securities: Paul Diggle, Mike Ward and Dr Chris Redhead. 
 
 
Paul Diggle, who has held a number of senior life sciences research positions 
including Head of Global Healthcare at S.G. Warburg, will initiate coverage of 
European large-cap pharmaceutical companies. Paul will work alongside Mike Ward, 
a specialist salesman and analyst who has held positions at both NatWest Markets 
and Deutsche Bank. Earlier in his career Mike spent a number of years at Glaxo 
Holdings and Sandoz (now Novartis). 
 
 
Dr Chris Redhead has more than ten years experience providing investment 
research of small and mid-cap biotechnology, diagnostics and, more latterly, 
biologically-based cleantech companies. He has played a pivotal role in a range 
of significant fund-raisings and M&A transactions in the European life sciences 
sector and, together with Julian Burn-Callander, will form a strong team focused 
on small and mid-cap corporate client opportunities. 
 
 
Richard Chase, Managing Director of Ambrian Partners, commented, 
 
 
"Ambrian Partners is seeking to build on its strong market positions in metals & 
mining, oil & gas and cleantech by hiring leading teams and individuals in 
certain key growth sectors. Julian and the team are very highly respected and 
are sure to make an important contribution as we seek to broaden the range of 
our specialist sectors. We are delighted to have recruited one of the top 
healthcare equities teams in the City."
