Marcelino Castrillo, Shawbrook Group chief executive, said: “Our continued strong financial performance demonstrates the effectiveness of our unique ‘best of both’ approach, which has never been more relevant than in today’s fast-changing environment.

“As consumers and businesses increasingly seek personalised finance solutions, we continue to demonstrate our ability to meet these needs through innovation driven by both technology and the ingenuity of our people.

“While change creates opportunities, it also brings with it uncertainty and, as such, we remain alive to the implications that the cost-of-living crisis may have on our stakeholders and will continue to prioritise our duties as a responsible lender, employer and active member of the wider community.”
