In his new role, Neale will report into Cormac Burns, director of Corporate banking, and lead a sector‑focused team tasked with expanding the bank’s large corporate client base. Neale has been with the bank for over twelve years, holding senior positions across Structured Finance and, most recently, serving as head of Commercial Intermediaries. His appointment is underpinned by a 28‑year career in banking, which includes senior leadership roles at both NatWest and the Royal Bank of Scotland.
Cormac Burns, director of Corporate Banking at Metro Bank commented: “Simon’s appointment into this new role supports the growth of our corporate banking offering. Through his expertise and personal commitment to Metro Bank’s relationship banking ethos, we continue to be a trusted partner for businesses, working to support their ambitions and growth objectives.”
Simon Neale said: “Metro Bank’s commitment to relationship banking sets it apart, I am delighted to be able to support more large business clients in my new role. I’m looking forward to leading an incredible team dedicated to driving innovation and delivering exceptional relationship banking to our clients.”
Neale’s appointment follows a series of recent hires including Mark Trainor as head of Corporate Banking for the Midlands and Alison Whistance as head of Corporate Banking for Wales and South Wales, as the bank continues to expand its specialist expertise and enhance its offering for its corporate clients across regions.
