TSB Bank appoints Will Samuel as Chairman

Will Samuel, whose appointment was revealed earlier today by Lloyds Banking Group’s Chairman, Sir Winfried Bischoff, will join the Board of TSB Bank plc immediately.

Commenting on the appointment, Paul Pester, Chief Executive Officer of TSB Bank plc, said:

“I’m delighted to welcome Will Samuel as TSB’s new Chair.  Will’s appointment marks another major milestone in TSB’s mission of helping Britain’s communities to thrive.  I look forward to working with him.”

Speaking about his appointment, Will Samuel said:

“I’m delighted to be joining Paul and his team.  I believe that the role of a bank is to put the customer at the heart of everything it does and support economic growth in the communities in which it operates.  This is exactly what TSB is doing by helping local people, right across Britain and nowhere else.

“My immediate focus is now working with Paul and his team to build the rest of the TSB Bank Board and prepare for the listing of TSB on the stock market later this year.”
