Citigroup has bolstered the ranks of its UK investment banking business with two senior dealmakers as it looks to close the gap on its Wall Street rivals in the countries.

The US bank has named James Ibbotson as a managing director in its UK investment banking team, according to a memo seen by Financial News. He joins from Deutsche Bank, where he led its real estate, gaming and lodging investment banking team in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
