Barclays PLC
Sir Ian Cheshire appointed as a Director and as Chairman designate
of Barclays UK
Barclays
PLC and Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays") announce that Sir Ian
Cheshire has been appointed as a non-executive Director
of Barclays with effect from 3 April 2017. He is also
appointed Chairman designate of Barclays' ring-fenced bank,
Barclays UK, which is in the process of being established.
Barclays UK comprises the UK retail
banking, business banking, consumer credit card and wealth
management businesses.
Sir Ian
Cheshire has been chairman of Debenhams plc since April 2016.
He is currently the Senior Independent Director of Whitbread
plc and chairman of the advisory board of the Cambridge Institute
for Sustainability Leadership. He also holds directorships
at Maisons du Monde SA and Menhaden Capital PLC.
Sir Ian's other appointments include working as the
Government Lead Non-Executive, as well as being trustee of the
Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation and of Business in the
Community. Sir Ian retired as Group Chief Executive of
Kingfisher plc in January 2015 after 7 years in the role and 17
years with the company. His other former roles include
chairman of the British Retail Consortium.
Commenting,
John McFarlane said, "I am delighted to welcome Sir Ian Cheshire to
the Barclays Boards. He brings an excellent track record of
success as both a chief executive and chairman and broad experience
as a non-executive director. He will be a strong addition to
the Barclays Boards. Identifying a chairman for Barclays UK
is, of course, an important step on our journey to establish
our UK ring-fenced bank and I welcome the opportunity to work
closely with Sir Ian as we take Barclays forward in its new
structure."
Sir Ian
Cheshire commented, "I am very much looking forward to
joining the Barclays Boards and to supporting all our
colleagues in Barclays UK as we establish the UK ring-fenced bank
and continue to innovate and improve our service to our
customers"
There
are no other details that are required to be disclosed in respect
of Sir Ian Cheshire's appointment under Paragraph 9.6.13 of the
Listing Rules of the UK Listing Authority save as disclosed in this
announcement.
In
relation to our non ring-fenced bank, in line with regulatory
requirements, it is the intention to have an independent governance
structure in place for Barclays Bank Plc when the ring-fenced bank
is constituted. In the interim, Sir Gerry Grimstone will
chair the divisional board of Barclays International and will lead
the work to establish the new board of Barclays Bank plc, which
will become the non ring-fenced bank in due course.
