Metro Bank launches large commercial banking team

Andy Veares, Director of Large Commercial Banking, will lead the new department and is joined by Paul Robinson and Simon Vallance, previously of Santander UK; and Mark Byrne and Andrew Cremin formally of Lloyds Banking Group. All four have been appointed as Commercial Banking Directors.
 
The 10-strong team will focus on those companies with a turnover above £10 million and debt in excess of £3 million and will be able to support organisations with all their day-today banking requirements, including management buy-ins and outs, as well as asset purchases.
 
Andy Veares, Director of Large Commercial Banking at Metro Bank said:

“We’ve seen unprecedented demand for our commercial banking services over the past year, particularly from larger organisations who are looking for traditional relationship banking, delivered by experienced commercial bankers and under-pinned by state-of-the art technology.  We’re providing customers with a true banking alternative.
 
“I’m delighted to welcome Paul, Simon, Mark and Andrew to the growing team. Their wide-ranging expertise, coupled with the bank’s commitment to ‘no stupid bank rules’ will enable us to provide customers with a superior banking experience geared around their needs. They will each play a valuable role not just in the team, but in the direction of our commercial bank, and I look forward to working with all four of them.”
