Malcolm said: “I am really looking forward to this next chapter in my career, and I can honestly say that this is the only banking role that could have tempted me away from brokering. This is because I know first-hand how Close Brothers Asset Finance looks after its customers through all economic cycles.

“They are well known throughout the sector not only for customer care, but for the innovative ways they structure deals that work for their clients, which is something I’m particularly looking forward to.”

Jackie Cooke, managing director of the Scotland team, added: “We’ve worked closely with him for a long time and know all about what he’s capable of.

“Hamish has an outstanding reputation and network of contacts in the North of Scotland and is why this appointment couldn’t have come at a better time. Hamish joining the team sends a strong message to businesses in the region that we remain open for business and are fully committed for the long-term.”
