#3. Inside RBS: A Reporter’s View – with Ian Fraser
In this episode, we speak to Ian Fraser about his investigation into the culture of the Royal Bank of Scotland, drawing on his reporting for Shredded: Inside RBS, The Bank That Broke Britain.
An award-winning financial journalist and broadcaster, Ian unpacks what employees told him about life inside the bank, what his reporting uncovered about leadership under Fred Goodwin, and how internal culture contributed to RBS’s collapse. His work offers a rare, detailed account of how power, fear, and ego shaped behaviour at one of Britain’s most influential institutions.
Correction:
A mistake was made when discussing Fred Goodwin's honorary title in the RAF: Fred Goodwin was appointed an Honorary Air Commodore in No 602 (City of Glasgow) Squadron of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force in April 2008. He was effectively stripped of this honour in June 2009.
