Education and Skills
Our Focus
Through our Learning and People Development activities we aim to help all our colleagues build their specialisations, increase their confidence, plan their career progression and make it happen.
We are a specialist lender, so these activities enhance our specialisations, support our differentiation from others and enable us to have market expertise and deep customer knowledge.
Measures, Disclosures and Progress

The Alan Karter Scholarship
The Group’s Alan Karter Scholarship was created in memory of our highly regarded General Counsel, who sadly passed away in 2020. After its launch in 2021, Alan’s legacy has continued to offer scholarship opportunities to a select group of talented individuals each year, reflecting his passion for professional development.
Run in partnership with the prestigious Cranfield Business School, the Scholarship is open to all Group employees who want to take the next step and believe they would benefit from intensive professional development.
Since launch, competition has been strong to get awarded one of the residential places on the scholarship and this takes place via an interview and selection process. Places are fully funded, showing our commitment to the learning and career development of colleagues as well as supporting our ED&I agenda.
If you would like to know more, we'd love to hear from you.
