UDAY BAROT FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATOR
“No, I don’t think this sort of strategy works. Big banks don’t listen and just do what they want. The smaller voices aren’t heard so protesting, in my opinion, doesn’t make a big difference.”

TOLU BABATOLA  LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS CO-ORDINATOR
“No, I don’t think protesting makes much difference in such large corporations. I do still think its admirable that people protest and stand up for what they believe in though.”

LUKE SMITH TECHNICAL ANALYST
“No, protests probably don’t achieve a lot as banks are profit-making organisations. They won’t make changes to their businesses unless it affects their books in a beneficial way.”
