The Asset 14 Aug 2018

Standard Chartered has appointed Richard Horrocks-Taylor as global head, metals and mining.

Horrocks-Taylor, who commenced in the role last week, is based in London and reports to Ananth Venkat, global head, global industries group.

He is a highly experienced industry banker, covering the mining sector for well over 20 years, with a strong record of working with mining clients across the emerging markets. His most recent position was with the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), where, since 1008, he headed RBC's European, African and FSU metals and mining business.

Prior to his RBC days, Horrocks-Taylor worked for other investment banks, including JP Morgan and Flemings in London, Johannesburg and Hong Kong.

In this new role, he will lead strategic coverage for Standard Chartered's metals and mining clients, working closely with the bank's coverage and product teams globally.

"As a leading emerging markets bank with a strong a commodities focus, Standard Chartered has always been a leading banking partner for the metals and mining industry. The appointment of Richard into this role will ensure that we continue to keep a granular focus on this sector and build further depth to support the future growth aspirations of our clients," comments Ananth Venkat, global head, global industries group.

On joining the bank, Horrocks-Taylor says, "I am excited about joining Standard Chartered with its longstanding strength in both commodities and the key emerging markets for mining. I look forward to working with the global team to extend and enhance our strategic dialogue with our key clients in the sector."
