Bank expands by opening city centre office

Wyelands Bank has opened a new regional office in Albion Street, Leeds.

The bank said it intends to help more businesses in Yorkshire and the North East access the right type of finance to unlock growth, so it has launched its latest base to get even closer to its customers.

This follows the bank’s appointment of Henry Wheeler to its working capital solutions team.  Based in Leeds, Wheeler will focus on building the bank’s asset-based lending offer in the region.

Ian Flaxman, Managing Director, working capital solutions, said: “Small and medium-sized business owners want to meet decisions-makers face-to-face. Our new regional office and director in Leeds enable us to better serve our customers who are based in these key locations.

“At Wyelands Bank, we take the time to get to know and understand the businesses we support. With a strong track record in asset-based lending and a solid understanding of businesses in the area, Henry demonstrates our commitment to our customers.”

Wheeler said: “Wyelands Bank is building a reputation as a bank that understands its customers and will tailor solutions to meet a firm’s specific challenge.

“I’m delighted we’ve opened our new office in Leeds and can help more businesses throughout Yorkshire and the North East to unlock growth.”
