Lloyds Banking Group has appointed Nicola Littlejohn as its new group ambassador for the South West.
Bristol-based Nicola, pictured, will engage with policymakers, regional business leaders, community networks and charitable organisations to deliver the group’s purpose.
She will also bring people together to share insights to address the challenges facing the region – from access to affordable and sustainable housing to supporting its transition to a low-carbon economy.
Lloyds’ ambassador programme aims to cultivate a financially resilient environment that fosters growth and prosperity for businesses and communities.
In addition to being a group ambassador, Nicola is a consumer relationships director at Lloyds Banking Group with responsibility for developing initiatives and products to help older customers build greater financial security.
Prior to taking up that role, Nicola spent more than two decades in a range of roles across Lloyds Banking Group, including senior risk manager and head of portfolio management, and has lived and worked in the South West for more than 15 years.
She also serves as a mentor in the group’s Black Business Mentoring Programme and is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive business community and supporting aspiring entrepreneurs.
She said: “As a proud adopted Bristolian I want to work closely with our colleagues, business leaders, policy makers and charities as we aim to build a more prosperous and greener future for customers, businesses and communities across the South West.
“I’m looking forward to building strong relationships with our community and harnessing my experience and that of my expert team to help the region thrive and create a bright and promising future for itself.”
Lloyds Banking Group’s brands include Lloyds Bank, Halifax, Bank of Scotland and Scottish Widows.
