The Princess Royal opens Arbuthnot Latham office

Asset Alliance Group pledged its support as a corporate partner to Transaid, the international development organisation, just over 12 months ago.

Arbuthnot Latham has delivered strong growth in recent years – a period which included the acquisition of commercial vehicle finance and sales specialist Asset Alliance Group in 2021 – and the move to 20 Finsbury Circus has enabled all 600 London-based employees to come together in one City location.

Willie Paterson, chief executive of Asset Alliance Group, said: “We were truly honoured that The Princess Royal could lead the official opening of Arbuthnot Latham’s new headquarters and meet with staff from across both businesses. It marked a significant milestone in the Bank’s long history and was a moment of personal pride for me and my team.”

During her visit The Princess Royal met with a team of Asset Alliance Group colleagues who kayaked 18.5 nautical miles across the English Channel to raise funds for Transaid last September. The trio, comprising Suki Chana, senior credit manager; Martyn Bellis, commercial director of bus & coach and Darren Fitzpatrick, sales director of bus & coach, made the journey from Dungeness to Boulogne in just five hours and 45 minutes.
