The bank has introduced the roles of Chief Financial Officer and Group Finance Director - after splitting a previously single role - to ensure that its functions and infrastructure keep pace with its forward-thinking strategy.  

 

Tom Wood, who joins Shawbrook as Chief Financial Officer, will further develop the bank’s financial risk management capability, including managing its balance sheet and financing strategies for future growth. 

 

Tom arrives at the bank after working most recently as a Finance Director at NBNK Investments plc. and a Group CFO at the Skipton Group. 

 

Nick Fielden, who has already developed and built Shawbrook’s finance team since the bank’s launch in October 2011, has taken on the role of Group Finance Director. 

 

Nick will be responsible for supporting Shawbrook’s business units – savings, commercial lending, asset finance, secured lending and consumer finance – along with being responsible for the bank’s day-to-day financial and regulatory management. 

 

Speaking about Tom and Nick’s arrival, Philip George, Interim CEO of Shawbrook Bank said: “With Shawbrook going from strength to strength, these key appointments will help to ensure our infrastructure continues to support our significant growth targets.

 

“It has been an exciting year for Shawbrook Bank and we’re looking to the future with very ambitious growth plans. It is the talent and commitment of Shawbrook’s team that has enabled the bank to achieve so much since we launched, and we’re delighted to have Tom and Nick in place to support the business as we embark on our growth strategy over the coming years.”
