Ron Delnevo, Managing Director, Bank Machine
Ron Delnevo, Managing Director of Bank Machine, the company that installed the first independent ATM in the UK in 1998, has played a pivotal role in the growth of one of the most talked about financial services in the 21st Century.
Delnevo, a 55 year old graduate of Heriot Watt University in his beloved Edinburgh worked as a consultant for Bank Machine from January 1999 and joined in a permanent capacity shortly afterwards. In June 2000 he was appointed MD and since then this highly successful organisation has never looked back. Delnevo is not afraid to meet any misguided criticism head-on and relishes every opportunity to promote his industry. Delnevo firmly believes that UK consumers have been the main beneficiaries of Bank Machine's industry leadership, gaining far more convenient access to cash than was available before 1998.
Proud of his industry, Delnevo makes sure that Bank Machine ATMs can never be criticised, especially when it comes to informing customers in relation to any charges. In fact, Bank Machine now operates many free-to-use ATMs as Delnevo leads his company to challenge Financial Institution's ATMs in locations that were once the sole preserve of High Street Banks.
The world's largest independent ATM provider, Cardtronics Inc, bought Bank Machine in May 2005. However, Ron Delnevo has continued firmly at the helm and is now easily the longest serving director inthe UK Independent ATM industry. |
