Société Générale has been in the City of London for more than 150 years which is the greatest compliment a French bank could pay the UK’s financial centre. In fact the bank’s first venture outside France after it was initially founded was in the UK.
“We tend to think of ourselves as the most British of foreign banks,” says Thierry d’Argent, who heads the institution’s London branch and is chief country officer for SG in the UK and Ireland.
