The hubs will be branded Business Banking Hub and they have been designed to enable business customers from Natwest, Lloyds Bank and Barclays to conduct transactions through a shared facility. Commenting on the launch of the pilot, Deputy CEO of NatWest Holdings and CEO of NatWest Commercial and Private Banking Alison Rose said: “We have listened to what our business customers really want from our cash services. It is now more important than ever that we continue to offer innovative services, and we are creating an infrastructure that allows small business owners and entrepreneurs to do what they do best - run their business.

  • Cranfield 100 Women to Watch 2018
    The Female FTSE Board Report 2018 - 100 Women to Watch 1 THE FEMALE FTSE BOARD REPORT 2018 100 WOMEN TO WATCH 2018 Dr Patricia Pryce, Director, Beauwest Consultancy Ltd; Visiting Fellow, Cranfield School of Management Jacey Graham, Director, Brook Graham (in association with Pinsent Masons); Visiting Fellow, Cranfield School of Management 2018 is a significant year for women in the UK. It marks 100 years since women (over the age of 30) gained the right to vote, the unveiling of the first statue of a female in Parliament Square (Millicent Fawcett) and the first time a royal princess (Princess Charlotte) gets to keep her position in line to the throne, despite the arrival of a baby brother (Prince Louis). And for the first time women’s representation on FTSE 100/250 boards hits a new high of 29%/23.7%. These figures provide evidence that talented women are increasingly ready to take up Executive and Board positions; however, such women are often not visible to decision-makers who influence shortlists for Non-Executive Director (NED) positions in FTSE 350 companies. In this, our ninth 100 Women to Watch supplement, we continue to showcase the broad and deep female talent pool for ‘UK plc’ to draw on. As always, we acknowledge that it is neither an exhaustive nor definitive list of the only talented women available for board positions; neither is it attempting to represent the best 100 women. Our profiles reflect a broad range of backgrounds and include women who hold senior executive roles in FTSE 350 firms and other significant organisations such as large non-listed companies, major charities, professional services firms, educational institutions and the Civil Service, and from many different disciplines and functions.

  • How Ethical Is Islamic Finance?
    UKIFC & ISRA Thematic Workshop 2018 How Ethical is Islamic Finance? st Wednesday 21 February 2018 K&L Gates One New Change London EC4M 9AF SPONSORED BY: Thematic Workshop 2018 Wednesday 21st February, London WELCOME Bismillahir Rahmani Rahim, Alhamdu lilah wa salatu wa salamu ala rasulilah. On behalf of the Islamic Finance Council UK (UKIFC) and the International Shari'ah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA) we would like to extend a very warm welcome to all of our speakers and delegates joining us for today’s event. After the success of our 2016 thematic workshop examining “Is the Current Model of Shari’ah Governance Fit for Purpose?” we received excellent feedback on both the format and quality of the discussions and thus have been very much looking forward to our next event. As not-for-profit developmental bodies we are committed to the progression of the sector and believe our thematic workshops provide a unique platform to shine a light on key issues and challenges facing the Islamic finance sector. Our carefully selected speakers are invited to share their open and honest views regarding difficult, contentious and sometimes emotive topics. We welcome balanced, practically-focused discussion and debate. This year’s workshop will explore the relationship between Islamic and ethical finance; a topic very relevant to both of our organisations. The UKIFC is a global leader in advancing the debate around the role Islamic finance plays within the ethical finance thematic. For over eight years the UKIFC has designed and built out award-winning innovative initiatives across mainstream ethical finance.
