Board Change Committee, Board Remuneration Committee, and the Board Audit
Committee.

 

Joining Skipton's Board, Graham brings more than 45 years of wide-ranging
executive-level experience in retail, wealth & commercial banking, until
2015 all within Lloyds Banking Group. With hands-on experience from frontline

Graham is well networked across the UK financial services industry and for 6

Board. He now has a portfolio of non-executive & charity roles and has
just stepped down as Vice-Chair and board member of The Brain Tumour charity
where he remains as an emeritus.

 

Graham commented on his appointment: "I was particularly attracted by
Skipton's clarity of purpose in helping people achieve their major financial
life milestones. From climbing the property ladder, getting savings to work
harder, to retiring with confidence. I can see it in the actions already taken
and the ambitions & stretching future plans; it is clear that these are
not empty words. I am excited to be joining such a high performing business
& Board and I am encouraged by the ongoing plans to deliver value back to
members."

 

Gwyn Burr, Chair of the Skipton Group, said: "Graham's appointment to the
board reinforces our commitment to enhancing our leadership with proven
expertise and deep insight into the financial services industry. His extensive
experience and strong network, built over many years in UK financial services,
combined with a passion for customer focus and employee engagement, will be a
tremendous asset to Skipton. We're thrilled to welcome Graham and look forward
to the contribution he will make to our continued success."
