Handelsbanken becomes latest FBUK Corporate Partner
Family Business UK (FBUK) is delighted to announce that local relationship bank Handelsbanken has become the latest organisation to join their Corporate Partnership programme.
Handelsbanken has been operating in the UK since the 1980s and today supports local businesses and individuals, right across the country, with their banking and wealth management requirements.
Established in Stockholm in 1871, it is one of the country’s leading banks with a nationwide branch network. The Bank’s home markets are Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, and the UK. It also has operations in Luxembourg and the USA.
Handelsbanken is known for its strong emphasis on customer satisfaction, its financial strength and stability, and its relationship banking ethos. With a network of branches from Truro to Inverness, the bank’s fully-decentralised model means individual colleagues in each branch are empowered to make the vast majority of banking decisions. Customers speak to someone they know personally, and who fully understands their business, its financial needs and the local economy and environment.
FBUK has established partnerships with carefully selected and highly respected organisations that provide compelling professional services to family businesses.
In welcoming Handelsbanken to the FBUK Corporate Partner network, Neil Davy, CEO FBUK said:
“We’re delighted to welcome Handelsbanken to FBUK as part of our growing community of Corporate Partners.
“Handelsbanken are an organisation that places values at the heart of their relationship banking model, priding themselves in putting the interests of their customers front and centre of their operation.
“Their values-led approach makes them an ideal fit to support our Members, whose model of business ownership takes a long-term view to people place and business.”
Chris Teasdale, Chief Branch Officer, Handelsbanken, said:
“We are delighted to be partnering with Family Business UK. Handelsbanken is driven by a strong set of core values, with which FBUK clearly aligns. At Handelsbanken, all our customers do their banking with someone they know, and who takes the time to really understand their business and their long-term financial aspirations. Through our relationship banking model, colleagues are empowered to take decisions that support their customers locally – and we see how this delivers real value for family businesses up and down the country each day.
“We look forward to playing our role in helping to deliver FBUK’s mission of creating a more prosperous and sustainable future for generations to come, and to supporting their members in achieving their own financial ambitions.”
