Metro Bank Turns To Bank Of Ireland's Robert Sharpe For New Chair

Wed, 08th Jul 2020 09:58

(Alliance News) - Metro Bank PLC on Wednesday named Robert Sharpe as chair, effective November 1 and subject to regulatory approval.

Sharpe will succeed Michael Snyder who was appointed interim chair at the London-based retail and commercial bank last October while the company found a permanent successor. Snyder stepped into the role after founder Vernon Hill stepped down.

Robert currently acts as chair at Bank of Ireland Group PLC in the UK, Hampshire Trust Bank PLC and Honeycomb Investment Trust PLC. He will be stepping down from his position at Bank of Ireland UK in due course.

Snyder said: "I look forward to working with Robert as Metro Bank continues to set itself apart from the competition by delivering exceptional service for our customers, even in these most challenging of times."

Sharpe said: "As we navigate the new economic environment caused by Covid-19, community banking has never been more important as people, businesses and communities adapt to this new normal.

"It is this community banking model that sets Metro Bank apart and will enable us to continue to grow."

Metro Bank shares were up 3.6% at 115.30 on Wednesday morning in London.

IN BRIEF: Metro Bank Holdings hails normalisation of deposit outflows

Metro Bank Holdings PLC - London-based lender - Notes deposit outflow rates have normalised since it announced a funding package. They had increased over fears of Metro Bank's financial health prior to the capital package. Meanwhile, assets as at September 30 fall 0.7% to GBP21.61 billion from GBP21.75 billion as at June 30. Loan to deposit ratio softens to 80% from 81% over the three months. "The third quarter delivered continued momentum in personal and business current account growth and customer acquisition as well as a modest statutory profit after tax," it says. Metro Bank in October announced a new deal with investors to shore up its finances. The deal included a GBP325 million capital raise and GBP600 million in debt refinancing. In early October, the Financial Times said Metro Bank was seeking to raise up to GBP600 million to shore up its finances. It led to a sell-off in the stock, hitting the 52-week low on October 5.
