LLOYDS BANKING GROUP: BOARD CHANGES
Lloyds
Banking Group plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Amanda
Mackenzie OBE as a Non-Executive Director of the Group Board,
effective October 1st 2018. Amanda is Chief Executive of Business
in the Community, and until 2015 was Chief Marketing and
Communications Officer and a member of the Executive Committee at
Aviva plc. She previously held senior marketing roles at
organisations including Centrica, Hewlett Packard and BT Group and
was a Non-Executive Director of Mothercare Group from 2011- 2017.
She will serve as a member of the Board Risk Committee and
Responsible Business Committee.
In
other changes Deborah McWhinney has informed the Board that, due to
her personal and family commitments in the US where she is
resident, she will step down as a Non-Executive Director of the
Group at the end of December 2018.
In line
with board succession planning, Stuart Sinclair has been appointed
to succeed Anita Frew as Chairman of the Board Remuneration
Committee with effect from September 1st 2018. He has served
as a member of the Committee since January 2016. Anita, who joined
the Board in December 2010, will continue to be a member of the
Committee, alongside her roles as the Group's Deputy Chairman and
Senior Independent Director.
The
Group is also pleased to announce that Nigel Hinshelwood, Sarah
Bentley and Brendan Gilligan have accepted appointments as
designate independent Non-Executive Directors of the Group's Ring
Fenced Bank. Subject to regulatory approval they will join the Ring
Fenced Bank boards (Lloyds Bank plc and Bank of Scotland plc) on
January 1st 2019.
Nigel,
who will take on the role of Senior Independent Director for the
Ring Fenced Bank, was Head of HSBC UK and Deputy CEO of HSBC Bank
plc until 2017 and before that was Global Head of Operations for
HSBC. He previously worked at Unisys and Cap-Gemini and currently
also serves as a Non-Executive Director of Nordea Bank AB and
Lloyd's of London. Sarah is currently Chief Customer Officer
at Severn Trent plc, and was previously a partner of Accenture and
leader of their UK Digital technology practice. Brendan, an Irish
Citizen, was Chief Financial Officer for GE Capital International
until earlier this year and previously held a number of senior
international finance roles in GE Capital.
Lord
Blackwell, Group Chairman, commented 'I am delighted to welcome
Amanda Mackenzie to the Group Board where her customer focus and
leadership of Business in the Community will be a major asset in
supporting our mission of Helping Britain Prosper. I am also
delighted that Nigel Hinshelwood, Sarah Bentley and Brendan
Gilligan have agreed to join our Ring Fenced Bank boards. While we
will miss the enormous contribution Deborah McWhinney has made as a
Group Non-Executive Director, these new appointments will
strengthen the Group's governance in the critical areas of digital
technology and customer focus as well as adding to the diversity of
background and experience in our leadership roles'.
There
is no other information regarding Amanda Mackenzie's appointment to
be disclosed under paragraph 9.6.13R of the Listing
Rules.
