Banks promotes SME specialists in Birmingham team

Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking has added to its senior SME-facing relationship management team in the West Midlands.

Gary Saxon, based at Lloyds Bank’s office on Colmore Row in Birmingham, becomes area director, while Andy Higgins becomes area director of the region’s specialist real estate operation.

The pair have over 60 years of combined experience between them.

Amanda Dorel, regional director at Lloyds Bank Commercial Banking, said: “Gary and Andy bring additional senior resource and expertise to our Birmingham-based team at a time when small firms right across the region need practical and specific support to help them adapt and adjust to the current unprecedented market.

“With so many businesses across the region impacted by COVID-19, these promotions mean that we’re even better placed to support our customers in the weeks and months ahead. Our network of commercial banking relationship managers is working closely with Midlands SMEs to navigate the challenges presented by the outbreak at a local level.”
