Mike Oxby has departed Lombard, the leasing arm of RBS, to lead the asset finance division of Santander Corporate Banking.

He will be based at Santander’s Manchester office, not far from his old posting at Lombard’s regional headquarters.

Oxby, who now reports to Marcelino Castrillo Garcia, managing director of products and marketing at Santander’s corporate arm, has previously worked at De Lage Landen, Hewlett Packard Financial Services, and Key Equipment Finance.

Spanish bank Santander, which has incorporated elements of the former Alliance & Leicester and Abbey leasing businesses into its corporate division, expects to make several more key hires in the near future.
