Recognise Bank has appointed James Meigh as director of business development.

Meigh has been promoted from his role as regional director for the North.

In his new position, he will manage all the bank’s business development managers across its regional hubs in London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds. 

Meigh joined Recognise Bank two years ago after working as relationship director at Santander UK, Corporate and Commercial. 

Commenting on Meigh’s promotion, Recognise bank chief executive Bryce Glover says: “James has been an important part of Recognise, even before we got our banking licence, and he has helped shape and drive the relationship model we have today.”

“I am delighted that he now has the national role as I know he will continue to inspire his team and help grow our lending even further,” Glover adds.
