BNP Paribas has moved one of its top bankers in the Netherlands to London as its new UK chief – a move that comes at a time when many in the City wonder if jobs will be moving in the opposite direction due to the Brexit vote.

The French bank announced on October 3 that Anne Marie Verstraeten had been named country head for the UK. A bank spokesman confirmed that she has started in the role.
