Clydesdale Bank International, a subsidiary of National Australia Bank that provides offshore banking services out of Guernsey, has bolstered its customer service team with the appointment of associates Tara Harvey and Leanne Richards.

Harvey most recently worked within HSBC’s banking back office, having previously been a relationship manager at HSBC Private Bank, and before that at Royal Bank of Canada.

Richards, meanwhile, brings with her four years of marketing experience, two of which were within financial services; she has also held customer services and secretarial roles.

With these hires Clydesdale’s Guernsey team now numbers 20, the bank having appointed Jayne White as finance manager and Joni Free as an associate at the end of May.

White, who oversees the finance team, had previously served at a number of Guernsey-based firms and has senior level experience in private, commercial and trust environments; Free had worked as a legal secretary locally for a number of years.
