Mark Gilbertson is the new head of resourcing at Lloyds Banking Group and will cover both retail banking and group operations.

He started his HR career with a niche search & selection firm in the City almost 20 years ago, before joining Arthur Andersen Business Consulting.

Subsequently, Gilbertson has taken on a number of head of recruitment roles for household corporate names across multiple sectors; these included retail, financial and professional services, IT/telecoms and health & beauty.

In 2007, he founded an HR consultancy and interim firm that allows organisations to implement ‘transformational change’ across their HR, resourcing, recruitment and talent management space.

Resourcing director, Lindsey Tasker, says: “Recruiting, retaining and developing talented people continues to be a high priority for Lloyds Banking Group. Mark’s appointment will contribute to this and we are delighted to welcome him.”
