Following AIB(GB) decision to exit the British SME market, Brian facilitated the reduction in the lending book by pro-active customer contact and engagement, as well as utilising Market and Risk factors along with Institutional requirements to ensure the exit of the Loans/Customer. This led to the final role as Liaison between the Management for the sale remaining live and active loan book to a third-party Bank.
