A new head of client development has been appointed to help drive client growth across the south of England.

Emma Lane has taken on the role at Saffery, an accountancy and business advisory firm, and will support offices in Bournemouth, Bristol, and High Wycombe.

She will work closely with David Melloy, national head of client development, and Richard Crook, marketing and business development director.

Mr Crook said: "We're pleased to welcome Emma to Saffery at an exciting stage in the firm's growth.

"Her extensive experience across banking, financial services, and professional services, combined with her strong commercial mindset and relationship-building expertise, make her an excellent fit for this role."

Ms Lane brings more than 20 years of experience in banking, fintech, and financial services.

Her background includes senior roles at Moneycorp, Allica Bank, AIB, Lloyds Bank, and Barclays.

These roles have focused on business development, client relationship management, commercial banking, risk, transformation and partnerships.

Ms Lane said: "Saffery's ambition to build a genuinely national, client-first approach to growth is what attracted me to this role.

"The south has a strong and diverse business base, and I'm looking forward to using my network and experience to help the firm deepen existing relationships and build new ones across the region."
