Redwood Bank appoints two new staff members




Redwood Bank has appointed Olivia Alligan as banking operations officer and Ian Symons as senior asset liability management analyst.

It is the first time that Redwood Bank introduced staff members to its team virtually.

Prior to this, Ian worked at OneSavings Bank and ICBC Standard Bank.

Commenting about his appointment, Ian said he was set up completely over the cloud.

“The transition has been seamless and everyone at the Bank has been welcoming,” he said.


Olivia added: “Everyone was really nice and welcoming, and, despite working from home I feel very much part of the team.”

Redwood is a totally cloud-based bank, which allows all employees to be able to work from anywhere.

Gary Wilkinson, CEO and co-founder at Redwood Bank, said: “…Even though we’re all working from home in order to adhere fully to the social distancing rules, it’s very much business as usual for Redwood. 

“We had already interviewed and offered Olivia and Ian their roles before the lockdown, and we saw no reason why we could not just adapt our induction process.”
