The last two weeks have been extremely active in the markets, the events which have unfolded are very uncommon and hence it has been interesting to get exposure to the market at such an early stage in my career and more importantly see how it has impacted our customers. The events are perceived to be one in ten year events so it has been extremely interesting to get an understanding of them in the early stages.

We have seen HBOS Treasury re-brand itself to Bank of Scotland Treasury over the previous two weeks, which has led to the opportunity for me to give some input into the new marketing for the team.

Last week we have had the Treasury summer party which as always was an interesting event. It is the only time in the year when all area's of treasury meet up, it is held in an impressive place and there is often entertainment for everyone. It is a good opportunity to put a face to a name as during regular business there is a lot of interaction with the support functions.
