Credit Suisse has hired the former England international Rugby Union star, Austin Healey, to be a personal banker. Mr Healey is believed to be working in the private banking side of Credit Suisse and is expected to use his contacts in the world of sport to attract clients. Private banks are increasingly attracting sporting starts to work for them. Some years ago UBS recruited the former England football star Alan Shearer to be an ambassador to its private client team in the UK. Gerrard, the private client stockbroker arm of Barclays Wealth Management, has a number of relationships with ex-Rugby stars.
