Standard Chartered says it has strengthened its Priority Banking team in Jersey with a string of eight new appointments.

The business’ Priority Banking division provides wealth management and banking solutions for high net worth (HNW) clients in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The appointments include a new Head of Sales Quality, three Associate Directors, one Senior Relationship Manager, one Client Service Manager, one Customer Service Officer and a Data Quality Administrator.

Kunal Varma, Head of Retail Banking at Standard Chartered Jersey, said: "Our Priority Banking team has expanded over the past 12 months primarily to meet the growing client needs across our core footprint markets. Our core markets are growing at a fast pace and we have essentially mirrored the growth in our business to enable us to cater to those needs effectively." 

Jack Gill, Glenn Barker and Gari Evans have all joined the Priority Banking team as Associate Directors.

Craig Ring joined Standard Chartered Jersey as Head of Sales Quality in July. 

Paul Brotherton, who has over 10 years’ financial services experience, has joined the business as a Senior Relationship Manager within the West Africa team. 

In addition to the above the business has also welcomed three support members to the Priority Banking division. Ania O’Brien and Emmanuel Gabor have joined as Client Service Managers and Kerry Ford has been appointed as Data Quality Administrator.

‘We are delighted to welcome the new recruits to our Priority business. Between them they boast a range of experience and skills and we are already starting to see the benefits they bring to the team. These appointments are pivotal for us to achieve our growth plans and execute our strategic objectives. We hope to grow the team further in the coming months to continue building our business foundations across the bank’s footprint markets,’ added Mr Varma.
