He has been with the team since February 2018 and will continue to shape the direction of the Bank’s lending and deposit products. His role will also encompass all elements of strategy, ensuring Redwood’s products and services meet customer requirements and growth ambitions.
Gary Wilkinson, CEO and Co-Founder of Redwood Bank, said:
Since coming on board both Leon and Stuart have made a significant impact on the business and our approach to growth. They have both proven their dedication and loyalty as well as impressing us with their innovative approach to Redwood, which made promoting them a very easy decision to make.
“Leon’s experience prior to joining Redwood will continue to be important in driving and achieving the Bank’s lending goals for 2020 and beyond. As for Stuart, we’re confident his impressive product management skills will ensure we stay ahead of the game when it comes to implementing new products, managing existing customer offers and helping Redwood go from strength-to-strength.”
