Cornerstone Commercial Finance has appointed Rhys Williams as Head of Corporate Finance.
Rhys joins after a career with NatWest spanning almost 40 years, which saw him working firstly in retail banking and then across Corporate and Commercial Banking predominantly as a Relationship Director with roles in credit, invoice finance and debt recovery.
His most recent role with the high street bank was leading its West Wales Commercial Banking team.
Rhys is a non-executive director with Business in Focus and a director with the South Wales Football Association, where he is currently Deputy President. He has also recently taken an advisory role with Chambers Wales.
He said: “I am passionate about developing the economic strength of Wales, and through my voluntary roles as well as my career I’m proud to be able to play a part in this.
“Spending time with customers, building relationships with them and having the opportunity to see their resilience and entrepreneurial spirit is so rewarding.
“Joining Cornerstone Commercial Finance is an exciting opportunity to be able to continue to support businesses to achieve their ambitions.”
