Simon Miller also took over from Alex Hammond-Chambers as chairman in May.

Graeme Hartop, chief executive, said: “The extraordinary circumstances of the last few months have been challenging for all of us, but I’m very pleased with the way we have supported our clients in this environment, with our expert team working closely with clients to mitigate the economic impact and to help them navigate difficult times. Our systems and processes have allowed us to operate effectively throughout lockdown, at a time when many banks have been forced to reduce their levels of service. We continue to strengthen our banking teams in Edinburgh and London to keep pace with our growth.”

He added: “We are continuing to attract new clients who value the bespoke, relationship-driven way we do business, and we will shortly be launching a retirement mortgage product designed to give our older clients greater flexibility for their borrowing needs.”
