E2E is delighted to host Vernon Hill, the ‘P.T. Barnum of banking’, Knight of the Cavaliere Order of Merit of the Italian Republic and Founder of Metro Bank, for an interactive evening online.
Our CEO Shalini Khemka will have an exclusive interactive discussion with Vernon Hill; where she will be exploring in-depth the routes to business growth.
Vernon Started Commerce Bank in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, at the age of 27 with 1 office and 9 employees, with $1.5m raised, and when he departed the company after 34 years in 2007, the business sold later that year for $8.5bn.
Having Co-founded Metro Bank in 2007, Vernon led the charge in disrupting the UK retail banking industry, it being the first high-street bank to open in the United Kingdom for more than 100 years. Now, he’s doing it again with Republic First Bancorp in Philadelphia.
During the conversation we will discuss how Vernon Hill translates customer service into profit, the reason organic growth trumps growth through acquisition, and the future of the UK retail banking industry.
We are delighted to announce that Vernon has offered to send all attendees a free copy of his latest book ‘Fans Not Customers: How to Create Growth Companies in a No Growth World’, which should prove to be a fantastic read.
This event is brought to you by E2E in partnership with IWG PLC and Richard Morris, Chief Executive of IWG, who will also accompany me for the discussion.
