Investec Bank (Channel Islands) has appointed Chris Blowers as its head of structured property lending. This is a new position designed to bolster a booming area of the bank’s business and will be based in Guernsey. Mr Blowers joins from Allied Irish Bank where for the last ten years he headed the bank’s flagship office in the City of London as corporate business director. He started his career with Williams & Glyn's Bank in London. "Chris’ appointment reflects Investec’s continued success and focus on growth particularly in the structured lending market where this skill set is scarce on the islands. “His experience ranges from the largest quoted companies to the small, yet entrepreneurial, developer. He brings something extra to our highly experienced team. His experience in offering property finance advice to a range of global clients will be invaluable,” Investec’s managing director, Mort Mirghavameddin, said in a statement.
