Executive Directors’ Change in Responsibilities
Abbey announces the following changes in Executive Directors’ responsibilities. Nathan Bostock, Executive Director, will take interim responsibility for the Branch network and Abbey’s Premium Banking business within Abbey’s Retail Direct channel. This will be in addition to his role as Director of HR. Whilst these interim arrangements apply, his existing responsibilities for Finance and UK Corporate Banking will be discharged by other members of Abbey’s Executive Management Team.
As part of these interim arrangements, Miguel Bragança, Executive Director, Retail Products and Marketing will take responsibility for the remaining parts of Abbey’s Retail Direct channel (comprising Abbey’s Telephone Distribution channel, Business Banking and Commercial Mortgage business).
The above interim changes result from the decision of Abbey’s current Head of Retail Direct to leave Abbey. The interim changes will take effect immediately and remain effective until a new Head of Retail Direct is appointed.
The above changes are subject to FSA approval.
