Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets has extended its South West and South Wales team with the appointment of Paul Harvey as business development director.
Paul joins the Bristol-based team after six years at the helm of Barclays Corporate in the South West and brings with him 30 years’ experience in corporate banking.
Paul will focus primarily on firms with revenues in excess of £100m and work closely with the regions’ existing relationship directors as well as developing close working relationships within the local business community.
His appointment underpins Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets’ commitment to building its corporate business within the regions and demonstrates its continued investment in hiring key local expertise to support what is already a highly successful team.
Paul said: “I’m very excited at the prospect of applying my expertise to my new role. Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets is well-known for its constancy of relationships, trust and delivery of promises and I look forward to supporting and building on this through my work with new and existing customers.”
Lloyds Bank Corporate Markets area director Clive Hetherington added: “I’ve known Paul for many years and I’m delighted to be welcoming him to the team. Paul brings with him a wealth of client and professional contacts as well as extensive practical experience in working with businesses from across a variety of sectors. In the South West we’ve already increased our new net lending by 13% in the first half of this year and I’m certain Paul’s appointment will help us to build on this growth.”
Paul has more than 30 years’ experience in working with SMEs, large privately-owned corporates and quoted companies throughout the UK.
