LLOYDS Banking Group has appointed Shaun Ellenthorpe as head of area for West and North Yorkshire.
Mr Ellenthorpe’s appointment is part of a nationwide expansion in the number of area directors and the teams dedicated to supporting corporate customers of the bank.
Said Mr Ellenthorpe: “In the past 12 months, feedback from our customers tells us that the role of the local relationship directors and their local knowledge and experience has become increasingly important.
“This is crucial to the way in which we do business and the reason why we now have a distinct, separate team focused on the North and West Yorkshire business community.”
Mr Ellenthorpe (pictured) pointed to recent deals with Acorn Stairlifts, which has moved all its day-to-day banking to the Leeds office, and Barratts Priceless, for whom the bank provided working capital and an international trade facility as examplles of its backing for business.
