Len Casley

Consultant

For over 30 years I was a corporate and investment banker with JPMorgan and Citibank where I covered plenty of businesses, geographies and industries and nationalities. My specialism was credit and corporate finance generally for multi-nationals operating and trading internationally. This gave me extensive credit, governance and general business experience which is and always will be my foundation for understanding and helping business.

For the last twelve years I have devoted my time, energy and knowledge to working within the third sector, as trustee, treasurer, adviser, employer and employee. I have specialist credit union knowledge having run a successful credit union and managed a voluntary merger to create the largest credit union in Wales. I have worked as Business Manager for a charity and am a trustee and treasurer for two local mid sized charities. I have also worked as an Assistant Director at Fair4All Finance where I structured and provided finance for a commercial price comparison website for the most economically challenged credit applicants. I also authored the credit union merger guide at Fair4All and was the principal credit union adviser for many credit unions seeking merger assistance and guidance.

Key Projects:

Credit union merger, Newport Credit Union and Smart Money Cymru Community Bank

Engineered and completed first voluntary credit union merger in Wales. Attracted devolved funding and created a structure which preserved jobs, local presence and historical ethos and provided membership with access to new products and technology.

Financial and strategic advice, small charity

Evaluated small charities business model and made significant financial and strategic recommendations which enabled the charity to focus on key deliverables, conserve cash and seek targeted funding.

New cash and investment model, mid sized CVC

Created new cash and investment model for mid sized CVC operating in Wales. Has resulted in substantial risk free financial gains as the investment model was put into practice.
