The appointments are part of RBS CIB’s drive to enhance the range of services it offers to clients in the healthcare sector. Makinson and Weeks will work to build the team’s proposition into the fast-growing medical technology (‘medtech’) and pharmaceutical industries, whilst also continuing to focus on corporates in the private care and hospital spaces.

Prior to this she has spent time in RBS’s Markets & International Banking (M&IB) Loan Market Origination team, having joined Royal Bank of Scotland in 2008 on its Corporate Banking Graduate Programme.
