Chetwood Bank has appointed Rob Pomphrett as the latest non-executive director (NED) to join its board.

Rob brings over 30 years of experience in the banking and financial markets sector, where he specialised in trading risk and leading global teams across credit, interest rates and government bonds, and structured products.

Now pursuing a portfolio career that combines NED and charitable roles, Rob currently serves as treasurer and board member for both the Campaign to Protect Rural England (CPRE London) and Possible, an environmental charity which aims to inspire positive climate action and help create a zero-carbon society in the UK.

Founded in 2016, Chetwood is a UK-based digital challenger bank offering savings accounts and mortgages through its ModaMortgages and CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries brands.

Rob Pomphrett said: “I’m looking forward to using the knowledge and expertise I’ve gained from more than 30 years of working in the financial markets to support Chetwood Bank in its ambition of being recognised as one of the UK’s leading digital challenger banks. 

“I’m excited to be looking at new ways to help the firm grow profitably and explore new asset class opportunities in a thoughtful and well considered way, that’s aligned with the firm’s strategic objectives.” 

Paul Noble, CEO of Chetwood Bank, added: “We’re delighted to welcome someone of the calibre of Rob to our Board. His deep knowledge of international financial markets will prove invaluable as we embark on our next phase in the evolution of Chetwood Bank.”
