  • 'It's not vital to spend five days a week in the office': Mike Regnier the bank boss who works from home

    'It's not vital to spend five days a week in the office': Mike Regnier the bank boss who works from home
    While the big beasts of Wall Street rail against WFH, Mike Regnier of Santander UK says he wouldn’t have taken the job if he had had to commute all week.

    While Goldman Sachs's David Solomon has described home working as an "aberration", and JP Morgan’s Jamie Dimon calls himself a "skeptic" of the trend that took off during the pandemic, Mike Regnier made home working a condition of taking the job in 2022. He says he would have turned down the Spanish-owned lender had it refused to let him work from his family home in Harrogate, Yorkshire, where he has lived since the early 2000s.

    Patrick Thomson: the man who 'helped save UK pensions'
    Patrick Thomson, chair of the Investment Association.

    The chair of the Investment Association says he has his army training to thank for the cool head he kept during the crisis sparked by the mini-budget.

    Patrick Thomson less than two months ago he would have been anything but. Then, the UK's £10 trillion asset management industry was reeling from a market meltdown and the near-collapse of a string of niche pension funds in the wake of then-chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget.

    Thomson, who had joined the Investment Association as its new chair that very week, had to act fast: the lobby group coordinated with Treasury officials and regulators including the Bank of England in trying to stem an asset sell-off that threatened to infect other parts of the financial system.

    Patrick Thomson: the man who 'helped save UK pensions'
    Patrick Thomson, chair of the Investment Association.

    The chair of the Investment Association says he has his army training to thank for the cool head he kept during the crisis sparked by the mini-budget.

    Patrick Thomson less than two months ago he would have been anything but. Then, the UK's £10 trillion asset management industry was reeling from a market meltdown and the near-collapse of a string of niche pension funds in the wake of then-chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget.

    Thomson, who had joined the Investment Association as its new chair that very week, had to act fast: the lobby group coordinated with Treasury officials and regulators including the Bank of England in trying to stem an asset sell-off that threatened to infect other parts of the financial system.

    Chris Pitt of First Direct: 'We're the best unfound bank in Britain'
    The chief executive, Chris Pitt, pulled out all the stops for customers with their mortgages during the mini-budget turmoil. Now he wants to double their number.

    Chris Pitt had an unusual start to his banking career. In the middle of a history degree at Loughborough University in the early 1980s, the working-class lad from east London’s Upton Park found himself with a holiday job usually earmarked for trustworthy retirees: handling cheques worth millions of pounds.

    Pitt claims he was never tempted to take the money and run. "You've got to remember I'm a Jesuit schoolboy. It's not in my DNA to do that," he grins.

    It was that dependability that helped him climb the ladder at HSBC, where, more than 30 years after his cheque-shuttling years, he is now running its branchless retail bank, First Direct.

    Monzo and beyond: How TS Anil put banking in a new light
    Anil believes Monzo will ’make a great public company one day’ – but will not be drawn on when.

    The fintech startup’s boss always hoped it would make waves, but has only recently realised what his own career has meant to people of colour in banking.

    Sitting in Monzo’s headquarters, just a stone’s throw from Liverpool Street station in London, its chief executive, TS Anil, is unwittingly defying fintech stereotypes.

  • Minouche Shafik: The idea that you are successful because you are hardworking is pernicious.

    Minouche Shafik: The idea that you are successful because you are hardworking is pernicious.
    Baroness Shafik at the London School of Economics: The discussion we need to be having asks: what do we owe each other and what are our expectations of each other?

    The LSE's director and former Bank of England economist is outspoken over the need for a reset of the wider capitalist system

    Minouche Shafik seemed destined for the top job at the Bank of England when she arrived in 2014, but becoming the first female governor was not to be.

    She only spent two years inside the Bank’s imposing offices on Threadneedle Street before quitting as deputy governor to head the London School of Economics.

    Rumours swirled that she had fallen out with her boss, Mark Carney, newly arrived himself and armed with plans to shake up the 300 year-old central bank. Now, sitting in her top-floor office with panoramic views across London near Waterloo Bridge, she smiles and responds with the diplomacy for which she is known. "Oh, come on: the LSE job offer was too good to miss."
