FBC Manby Bowdler—Dawn Tuck

Banking and finance specialist takes on new strategic role

FBC Manby Bowdler has appointed banking and finance specialist Dawn Tuck to lead its nationwide service offering additional and specialism support to the legal sector.  

Dawn, a former client relationship manager with the firm, will lead the firm’s Hub.Legal service working with smaller law firms across the UK and those needing additional expertise on a range of matters. She has also been appointed Head of New Business. 

A Chartered Banker Member with a Diploma in Credit, Dawn has more than 30 years experience working with the banking, finance and legal sector.  

Managing director Neil Lloyd said: 'These are uncertain times, both the Covid pandemic and Britain’s exit from the EU has disrupted business as usual for the vast majority of companies. Many of them are reviewing contracts, looking at compliance and tackling a range of new and changing legislation being brought into force. 

'Dawn will be looking after new enquiries for us as well as overseeing our annual legal review service and our Hub.Legal network across the country.'

Dawn added: 'Hub.Legal is our department "next-door" service for law firms which may not have specific legal expertise in house and I’m looking forward to developing this offer to other practices in the coming weeks and months. 

'I’m delighted to take on this new strategic role which will also see me developing new business for the firm in 2021 as well as cement some of the excellent relationships we have with our existing clients.'
