It was wonderful to spend time with colleagues, clients and community partners in London last week. During my trip I heard about how our teams across Europe are delivering leading advice and support to clients in an evolving macro landscape.
A major theme in my discussions across our capital markets, asset and wealth management teams was our continuing goal to become more deeply integrated in this market. Across the region, we have a strong team leading our ambition to deepen client relationship and build new ones.
As we continue to grow the RBC story in Europe, we also talked about the importance of investing in the communities where we operate. I had the pleasure of visiting Great Ormond Street Hospital, our London RBC Race for the Kids charity partner, to see the positive impact our support is having. We’re proud to be a Founder Partner of the Children’s Cancer Centre – a £350 million fundraising campaign to build a new state-of-the-art building that provides care to children with the most complex and hardest-to-treat cancer.
To wrap up the visit, I saw “Just For One Day”, at The Old Vic, one of the 48 main stage productions supported by RBC as Principal Partner. I learned more about the impact we are making in the lives of youth through “Take the Lead”, the theatre’s flagship employability program.
Thank you to the team for hosting me, and I can’t wait to be back.
