New bank to create 15 jobs in Leicester

Metro Bank is set to open its 79th store in Leicester on Friday February 25, creating 15 jobs.

The new Leicester Metro Bank is the bank’s second store in the East Midlands and is at 1 Haymarket.

“We are proud to be opening Metro Bank’s second store in the East Midlands,” said Metro Bank store manager Stuart Williams. “We are looking forward to serving our local communities. All our colleagues have been recruited from Leicester so we already have a fantastic knowledge of the area – in fact we are all so local nearly every one of us can walk to work.”

Local director Stu Hill and local business manager Suraj Madlani have both been appointed by Metro Bank to run the business banking arm.

“We have had a fantastic response from both the Leicester professional and business owner communities,” said Hill. “Our People People approach to banking has been viewed as really refreshing – so much so that we have signed up a number of new business accounts even before we have opened.”
