Among these is Eva Santiago who has taken up the role of premier relationship manager in the Isle of Man.

Elsewhere Joseph Edlin has been named associate director of global markets and corporate sales in Jersey, while Susan Reeves is now relationship manager and Abdul Sohail head of risk oversight (private banking) in Guernsey.

The 46 promotions and moves form part of the bank’s ongoing strategy to support people with their career and professional development aspirations, by nurturing a culture of reward, recognition and development.

Welcoming and congratulating those receiving promotions and starting in new roles with the bank, Warwick Long, chief executive of HSBC Channel Islands and Isle of Man, said: ‘We’re focused on creating a dynamic and agile organisation and championing the benefits of a diverse and inclusive environment, where career development and progression is supported.
