Metro Bank has appointed Jamie Sim (pictured above) as a commercial banking director within the commercial real estate team.
Jamie has joined Metro from Santander, where he was a relationship director for corporate real estate.
Prior to his time at Santander, Jamie served at RBS for over 10 years in a number of roles.
He will report directly to Gabrielle Berring, director of commercial real estate, who was recruited by the challenger bank late last year.
Jamie will be responsible for managing new and existing customers portfolios within the real estate sector.
He said: “I have followed Metro Bank's journey since its launch and I'm excited to be joining a customer-focused bank with simple, straightforward banking, deposit and lending products.
“I look forward to building key relationships with Metro Bank customers and understanding their business needs.”
Mark Stokes, managing director of commercial banking at Metro Bank, said: “I'm extremely proud of how quickly our real estate team is expanding and excited to welcome Jamie to the team.
“His wealth of experience and drive to put customers first is something we strive for at Metro Bank and he will help us continue our growth within the real estate sector.”
Metro Bank also recently appointed Nick Kalamaras as a commercial banking director.
