Relationship Director – Commercial Banking (Liverpool / Merseyside) I’m working on a brand new mandate for a well-established UK commercial bank with a strong balance sheet and an excellent reputation across the UK commercial banking market. The bank is part-way through a 5-year strategic growth plan to double the size of its lending book, underpinned by a genuine appetite to lend and a pragmatic, relationship-led credit approach.
