Deion says, “Whilst working in both the Lloyds Bank Agency and Financial Sponsors teams I could see what real value an independent agency function could add and the opportunities that exist for it within the market. I am therefore delighted to be joining such a dynamic firm as GLAS who, with their agility and responsiveness in an ever-increasing demanding environment, have led the way in providing best in class service to its clients. A front office approach to a back-office service is very much evident at GLAS and I look forward to helping the firm continue its growth.”
