A man walks past a Bradford and Bingley bank in central London August 18, 2008. Bankers for Bradford & Bingley have been left to sell over 70 percent of its 400 million pound cash call, the UK lender said, as it hired the former head of rival Alliance & Leicester to draw a line under its troubles. The mortgage bank, which has seen a torrid three months since it first surprised the market with news of an emergency rights issue, named City veteran Richard Pym as chief executive with immediate effect.
