Don’t really know how to explain this - There is a horse standing outside a closed down branch of Lloyds Bank waiting for it to open. And it isn’t even a Black Horse. Try @StarlingBank

On a mission to build the best business bank! . I am incredibly proud of all at @StarlingBank but having raised £175m in recent weeks, we now need more Starlings. Our standards are high - skill, integrity and passion. ( Is it rude to ask you to RT?).

Pleased to have made the list - thank you @ft but it raises the question - why in 2021 are so few women getting the opportunity to build big businesses. This list is almost entirely men!.

Coming second to @firstdirect 84% vs @StarlingBank 83% means a lot to me. From 1989 to @StarlingBank I had banked with them despite working for one of the other Big 4. Competition is healthy and it raises everyone’s game
