ROYAL Bank of Scotland (RBS) has appointed Marcelino Castrillo as its managing director of business banking, writes Scott Wright.
Mr Castrillo was formerly managing director of SME Banking at Santander, having previously held other senior roles at the Spanish bank.
At RBS he will report to Les Matheson, chief executive of personal and business banking.
Mr Matheson said: 'I am delighted to confirm the appointment of Marcelino Castrillo, he will be a great addition to my executive team and his experience makes him the ideal person to help us continue the progress we're making to achieve our ambitions. We are the biggest lender to UK SMEs but we want to be the best and Marcelino will play a key role in helping us to reach that goal."
Mr Castrillo will take over from Abe Tilling, who has been the interim managing director since Ian Walters left in December.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
