Sir Ernest Cassel “Sir Ernest Cassel (1852-1921) was a German-born banker raised in the Ashkenazi Jewish faith who arrived penniless in Liverpool aged sixteen in 1869 and rose to become King Edward VII’s financial advisor and trusted friend. Cassel was one of the most astute financial minds of his generation and showed early promise clerking for an Anglo-Egyptian bank in Paris, where he was mentored by revered European banker Baron Marine de Hirsch. Hirsch secured Cassel in the London merchant banker Bischoffsheim & Goldsmidt when the Franco-Prussian War necessitated a swift exit from Paris. ” Extract taken from the Henry Poole & Co – The First Tailor of Savile Row’ book.
