Santander | Bank CEO reveals he would've turned down job without option to work from home

The chief executive of a major high street bank says he would’ve turned the job down if he couldn’t work from home.

Mike Regnier, who has been the UK CEO of Santander since 2022, revealed to The Guardian that he works from home in Harrogate, Yorkshire, twice a week, and completes his working week at the bank’s London offices in Regent’s Place, Camden.

The family man said that, had there not been the option of such flexibility, he would not have accepted the role with the Spanish-owned bank, which he’s now held for two years.

“I don’t think it’s absolutely vital that people spend all five days a week in the office as they did pre-Covid,” Regnier told The Guardian.
