I am excited to be supporting and promoting the Bank’s ‘Depositary of the Future’ strategy as we enhance our services to provide the highest level of protection to funds and investors, expanding our market leading position. There are many opportunities and challenges on the horizon for the UK and European funds industry, and I look forward to navigating these to provide an ever-evolving service that meets changing customer requirements.”
