Skipton expands with new senior appointment

Tuesday 17 March 2020

Skipton International has grown its Business Development team with the appointment of Sean Gauvain as Business Development Manager.

He joins the Guernsey regulated bank with lengthy experience in banking and will help to strengthen the company's deposit business.

Mr Gauvain's role will see him build relationships with corporate and fiduciary partners across the Channel Islands and Crown Dependencies, promoting Skipton's competitive savings products and its award winning customer service.

He has worked in retail and private banks for more than 14 years, focusing on both the mortgage and deposit sides of organisations.

"I have long admired Skipton and the success it has enjoyed and am delighted to become a part of its close knit team," Mr Gauvain said. "As an independent bank Skipton has the agility to react quickly and make necessary changes to meet the needs of its clients and to adapt to the changing marketplace, giving it a real edge over its competitors."

Director of Business Development, Nigel Pascoe, added: "Sean is well known within the local banking industry and his experience will be hugely beneficial in helping us increase the deposit side of our business, which supports the growth of our mortgage book.

"This new role is an expansion of our team and supports our ambition to become the preferred offshore savings bank and mortgage provider."
