RBS Gibraltar Talent Academy staff learn leadership skills from former Bank Chairman
Staff from The Royal Bank of Scotland International (RBS International) in Gibraltar travelled to Jersey on the 10th – 11th September to meet with Sir George Mathewson, CBE, former Chairman of The Royal Bank of Scotland Group, as part of a two day leadership training event.

Pictured are Gillian Balban, Amy Ballantine, Diane Peralta, Joanne Balban, Neil Winstanley, Nick Gordon, Sir George Mathewson, Jordan Rammagge, Lino Brydges and Ian Henderson.
The staff, who work for RBS International and NatWest are members of the Bank’s Talent Academy, which provides an accelerated development programme for high performing employees. They joined their Academy colleagues from Jersey, the Isle of Man and Guernsey for the event, where Sir George gave a motivational talk on leadership.

Ian Henderson, Chief Executive, RBS International, commented: “Sir George is a hugely experienced and influential business figure and we were delighted that he managed to find some time out of his busy international schedule. The Talent Academy is a two year programme designed to develop leadership skills and to enhance the career potential of many of our most high calibre employees and is an example of the huge importance that we place on the career development of our staff. The visit by Sir George to Jersey was a golden opportunity for our Gibraltar–based employees within the Academy to hear first hand from one of Britain’s most experienced business leaders of recent times and someone with a close understanding of the RBS group, its goals and values.’

Sir George was Chairman from 2001 until 2006 and remains an adviser to the banking group.
