Our People | Meet Maisie Wallace

Business Development Officer Maisie has been with Redwood since October 2018. One of that rare breed of upwardly mobile types who make time to pop into the gym before embarking on the morning commute, Maisie prides herself on removing the stress from business banking. 

What has been your proudest achievement with Redwood to-date?  

Being promoted into the Business Development Team. I was still fairly new to the Bank, which made this a proud moment for me.  

Redwood is now four years old. What is the one standout piece of feedback you have received from a customer in that time?  

When I first joined Redwood, I helped a customer through our online savings account application process several times as he needed extra support understanding the range of products and the full application process. He emailed Redwood and said I was an asset to the company. I was glad I could help him and give him a stress-free application process.  

What is the best piece of advice you have received?  

The best bit of advice I’ve received is give things a try, because you’ll be surprised at what you can do. I’ve been fortunate since joining Redwood to have gained experience across multiple departments, including Portfolio Management, which has hugely increased my confidence with business and finance – subjects that weren’t naturally my finest! However, working closely with the Business Development team, drafting applications and talking to customers has developed and strengthened this enormously. 

What advice would you give to someone considering a career in banking? 

My advice is that even if you doubt your own abilities, give it a go. I didn’t have a background in finance previously, but the team here has helped me every step of the way and I’ve grown in confidence and aptitude so much because of this. 

What’s one thing you know now about banking that you didn’t know before you started at Redwood? 

The number of teams required to run a bank. There are so many different people and so many different skill sets required to run our Bank effectively. 

What keeps you up at night?  

Getting credit applications in on time and being able to support the incredible work the Business Development Managers do. 

What gets you out of bed in the morning?  

The gym, I like to get it out of the way as early as possible. I was a gymnast for six years and coached gymnastics from a young age, so fitness is an important part of my life.  

If you weren’t doing this, you’d be… 

Hopefully on a nice holiday somewhere, I missed out on holidays with my friends over the summer due to COVID-19.
