My name is Thomas Ollier and I am a post-graduate at the University of Southampton conducting academic research that will form part of an MBA thesis
Given the current economic situation in the UK, what are the experiences/attitudes of local businesses in gaining access to new lines of funding via the current set of large national banks (i.e. RBS, Lloyds, HSBC, Barclays) and might a Local Community Bank serve their financial needs better?
Many thanks for your time and cooperation.
Thomas Ollier
