Growth Investment

Richard Altoft

Lives in: Duffield, Derbyshire

Works: Across Derbyshire

At work: I help new and existing corporate sized businesses (turnover £1m - £50m) across all sectors to achieve their growth aspirations through the provision of a comprehensive range of banking facilities.

Why: I enjoy working with new and existing customers to establish close, long term working relationships

The Company: The Co-op Bank has been established since 1872 and is part of the larger Co-op Group. The core of the service and success is the commitment to relationship banking. We understand that the impact of our financial and banking services can go far beyond that of our own day to day operations. In 1992 we became the first high street bank in the UK to introduce a customer led Ethical Policy, which now forms all aspects of our business and operations. The policy influences every aspect of our business, so you can be confident of receiving fair and honest treatment at all times. Our efforts to run a sustainable business have been rewarded by a Queens Award for Enterprise and a score of nearly 100% in the annual Corporate Responsibility Index published in The Sunday Times.

After work: Watching Football and most other sports, running and family taxi driver
