Bank appoints new head of food & drink
Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks appointed a new head of food and drink this month in a bid to support business growth across the industry.
Chris Archer will bring 20 years’ corporate finance, private equity and banking experience to the role.
Stephen Green, head of sectors at Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banks, said: “Chris is a key appointment for us and his strong track record in business development means he is ideally suited to take on this new national role.
“Food & drink is one of Britain’s largest industries and remains a priority area for the Bank - one for which we will continue to provide financial support.”
Archer said his role, one of eight new positions created to oversee key sectors, including agriculture, transport, manufacturing and retail and franchising, would help the bank to meet business demand.
