Metro Bank will be showcasing its relationship banking credentials to over thousands of entrepreneurs and business attending the North West Expo at Manchester's Etihad Stadium, on November 21st.

North West Expo is Manchester's biggest business networking and educational event for small business owners and entrepreneurs. The Expo is designed to help businesses learn how to increase revenue and grow as well as a great resource for networking and sourcing new products. The show includes a number of industry experts, workshops and keynote speakers including best-selling Amazon author of Business Networking for Dummies, Stefan Thomas and award-winning innovator, disrupter and inventor, Mary Ryan.

Since 2012, Metro Bank has originated and approved just over £10bn in commercial lending. Each of its 75 stores has local business managers who exclusively offer personal face to face banking for entrepreneurs and SME owners in their local communities. Stores also support these relationships by running complimentary networking sessions and by hosting keynote speaker sessions about all aspects of running a business including legal, marketing, HR and recruitment, networking and tax advice to name a few.

"We are excited to be attending the North West Expo for the first time and being able to promote the value of our face-to-face banking approach. Being here allows us to showcase our commitment to supporting SMEs and building long-lasting relationships," explains Kerry Reynolds Metro Bank's Retail & Business Banking Director. "The benefits of our digital offerings and store network are clear but developing close personal relationships with our business customers is fundamental to the work we do and is key to both our successes."
