Lansons appoints former Santander Deputy CEO Tony Prestedge as senior advisor
Financial Services senior executive Tony Prestedge is the latest appointment to Lansons’ growing band of senior advisors. Prestedge joins the consultancy armed with years of experience working with some of the UK’s largest FTSE100 financial institutions including as former Deputy CEO at both Santander and Nationwide.
An experienced banker and transformation leader, Prestedge has also held senior positions at Barclays with his last position being Managing Director before he left the business in 2003. He also served as Chief Operating Officer of NHS England’s Test and Trace service during the pandemic.
“Tony is one of the great names in financial services. He has led giant enterprises and been at the forefront of technical revolution in the sector. These achievements, combined with his leading role in delivering the vaccine programme in the pandemic, make him someone that Lansons is proud to have on its team.”
“Lansons has a standout brand in the UK and US. The recent acquisition by Team Farner, coupled with an ambition to create a top three reputation and integrated communications agency in key European markets, means there is no better time to be joining the Advisory Board. I’m excited to work with Gordon and the team to execute on planned growth and expansion.”
Today, Prestedge provides consultancy to a select group of financial services and tech organisations, including digital management consultancy Capco, proptech company PriceHubble, women's financial advice app Financielle and Open Banking services provider BankiFi. In addition, Tony is a Non-executive Director serving on the Boards of both mortgage and wealthtech company Twenty7Tec Group and fintech TotallyMoney.
Earlier this month, Lansons was acquired by Team Farner, a European alliance of integrated communication consultancies, as its flagship UK consultancy. The partnership and investment from Team Farner will push Lansons to be a top-10 agency in the UK.
