What are the benefits of your bank working with Raisin UK?

It gives us an opportunity to work with and raise deposits from an established platform provider and to attract funds from a different client base.

What are some key achievements of the last three years that you are most proud of?

We signed up to the Women in Finance Charter in January 2018, and at that time, we had 18% female senior management representation. Our continued focus on gender diversity in our management team in 2021 has resulted in our female senior management being 32% as at September 2021.

Our female representation on our executive committee has also risen from 12% (2019) to 33% as at September 2021.  Additionally, we are proud to now have our first female Chair and have also appointed a female non-executive Director meaning for the first time Brown Shipley now has female Board members (29%).

We have also committed to new ways of working under our hybrid working model, where flexibility and agility are the norm for all employees as we embrace the benefits that working flexibly brings whilst encompassing the value of connection, collaboration and coaching when in the office environment.

Our work with PIMFA and social mobility charity The Brokerage support initiatives to encourage young women from all backgrounds to consider a career in finance will also remain a key focus for the remainder of 2021 and beyond as we broaden our diversity focus beyond gender.

The Brown Shipley executive team are committed to continuing to build a diverse and inclusive culture where all employees are equally included and where all employees are celebrated for their diversity.
