WORK HISTORY
Business Development Manager @Newcastle Strategic Solutions
I work with organisations exploring funding diversification, savings propositions and platform strategies in the UK market, including: International bank subsidiaries Challenger banks Building societies Mortgage lenders Retail brands launching savings products Specialist lenders Captive motor finance providers Automotive manufacturers supporting EV transition strategies🧭 Consultants advising on bank start-ups or UK market entryMany of the organisations I speak with are exploring how to launch savings products without building the infrastructure themselves.Typical conversations I have with banks and lenders:“We want to launch a savings proposition but don’t want to build the infrastructure.”“We need to diversify our funding sources beyond wholesale markets.”“We’re exploring entering the UK savings market.”“Our legacy platform is limiting our ability to scale deposits.”“We want to launch savings products under our brand quickly.”“We need a partner who understands the regulatory and operational requirements.”“We want to partner with someone who has a proven track record”If any of these sound familiar, you can book time directly with me via the link on my profile.We can use the time to explore your business model, objectives and growth plans, and how Newcastle Strategic Solutions supports banks and lenders to design, launch and operate UK savings propositions.No hard sales pitch, just a useful conversation. 15-minute intro calls and 30-minute discovery sessions available K••••••••@newcastle.co.uk
