Barclays’ growing entity in Dublin names two for senior promotions

Barclays’ expanded European operation in Dublin has made two senior appointments.

Helen Kelly, who is managing director and head of corporate banking in Ireland, has been named country manager for Ireland.

Pat McCormack has been named managing director, head of private bank and overseas services at Barclays Bank Ireland, and appointed to the bank's executive committee.

Significant jobs

Both have worked with Barclays in London for many years before returning to Ireland. The two roles are considered to be of equal seniority and significance within the bank, a spokesman said.
