Relationship Director – Commercial Banking (Midlands)

I’m working on a brand new mandate for a well-established UK commercial bank with a strong balance sheet and an excellent reputation across the UK commercial banking market.

The bank is part‑way through a 5‑year strategic growth plan to double the size of its lending book, underpinned by a genuine appetite to lend and a pragmatic, relationship‑led credit approach.

This is a Midlands‑focused Relationship Director role, designed for a commercial banker who is well connected across the local professional and intermediary community.

Opportunity

  • Relationship Director – Commercial Banking
  • Midlands coverage
  • High‑quality portfolio of existing clients and connections
  • Significant time, autonomy and internal resource available to support business development
  • Clear mandate to originate and structure new lending
  • Transaction appetite up to £5m, enabling support for sizeable trading businesses
  • Equally nimble for lower‑value, relationship‑led transactions
  • Strong appetite for lending into a variety of businesses

Ideal background

  • Established relationships with accountants, corporate finance advisers, solicitors and commercial intermediaries
  • Strong local market knowledge across the West Midlands
  • Track record of originating quality commercial lending through professional networks
  • Comfortable operating at RD level with autonomy and accountability

This role is ideal for a well‑connected commercial banker who wants to leverage local relationships, professional introducers and a bank that actively wants to lend to grow a meaningful regional book.
