Danske Bank’s new chief executive, Kevin Kingston, has today announced changes to the management of the Bank’s business unit. Mr. Kingston had, until last week, been Danske Bank’s Managing Director of Business Banking.
Shaun McAnee has now been appointed as Managing Director of Corporate Banking, while Richard Caldwell has been appointed as Managing Director of Business Banking. Both are internal appointments.
The changes effectively reorganise Danske Bank’s Business Banking unit along two lines – Corporate Banking and Business Banking. Kevin Kingston said the new structure would further strengthen the Bank’s commitment to supporting its business customers:
“Reorganising the teams across SME and Corporate Banking was a logical move to ensure that we continue to stay close to our customers and maintain our high customer satisfaction levels. Shaun and Richard are both very experienced and each will bring a strong customer focus to their new role. It is testament to the strength of our Business Banking division that I have been fortunate enough to be able to appoint new Managing Directors for the unit from within the existing team.”
Shaun McAnee will have responsibility for Corporate Banking, Specialist Business and Markets. He joined Danske Bank from Lombard in 2012 as Head of Asset Finance Sales, then becoming Head of Specialist Business. He is currently Head of Corporate Banking.
Richard Caldwell will have responsibility for Finance Centres, Agribusiness, Small Business and Business Acquisition. Richard’s career at Danske Bank spans 20 years across both Business Banking and Personal Banking. Previous roles have included being Head of the Belfast Finance Centre and Head of Private Banking. He is currently Danske Bank’s Head of Finance Centres.
