Below is a small selection of case studies highlighting our experience:
Head of Corporate Banking
Our client, a leading banking organisation with offices across UK and Europe, was seeking a Head of Corporate Banking for their new Leeds offices. The role was to develop and maintain a successful Corporate Banking business in the North East, targeting companies with a turnover of £50million plus. The successful appointee would be responsible for developing and maintaining client relationships whilst contributing strategically towards the development of the UK-wide corporate banking business.
Our client wanted an experienced Corporate Banker from within the North East of England's financial community. A good professional reputation, effective business development, client relationship and delivery skills were a must. Given these criteria, we undertook an extensive search of the UK banking community to present a high calibre shortlist of candidates. Following detailed interviews and given the high calibre of the candidates, two candidates were, in fact, appointed, moving forward the client’s succession planning strategy.
