Citigroup is bolstering its roster of FTSE-100 companies and hiring dealmakers in the City after a shake-up at the top of its UK and Ireland investment bank.

James Fleming and Jan Skarbek, who were installed as the new heads of Citi’s UK and Ireland banking, capital markets and advisory unit in June, told Financial News that the bank is aiming for a consistent top three position in the investment banking league tables in the countries, having leapfrogged rivals in Europe’s biggest market amid a deal boom in 2021.
