Investec Private Bank has boosted its Manchester division by recruiting two more senior bankers to its team.

Sarah Kendrick joins from HSBC to take on the role of internal consultant, while Mark Jones joins from RBS and will be in charge of treasury services.

Both are tasked with delivering treasury services to owner-managed businesses, intermediaries and private clients in the north.

Ms McKendrick worked 16 years at HSBC, where she was an e-trade sales and support officer.

Mr Jones joins Investec from the Royal Bank of Scotland, where he was a relationship manager of a large team.

Linda McBain, head of business services at Investec, said: "We are seeing increased demand for our specialist treasury services in the northwest of England and in Manchester in particular."

Earlier this month it was reported that Credit Suisse had appointed Simon Racle, currently at Barclays, to lead the company's private banking expansion in northern England.
