Sir Gerry Grimstone steps down from Barclays
Barclays announces that Sir Gerry Grimstone has informed the
company that he has decided to step down from his roles as a
Non-executive Director of Barclays PLC and Chairman of its
subsidiary Barclays Bank PLC, effective at the end of February
2019.
Sir Gerry said in a statement:
"After 20 years sitting on the boards of a number of listed
companies, and having recently stepped down from the chairmanship
of Standard Life Aberdeen plc, it is an appropriate moment for a
change. Going forward, I will be concentrating on my public
sector activities in the U.K., my work with Deloitte in Europe and
globally, my work in the Gulf, India, China and elsewhere in
Asia-Pacific. There will doubtless be many other exciting
public and private opportunities to pursue. I'm leaving
Barclays in very good shape and I wish it very well for the
future."
John McFarlane, Chairman of Barclays PLC said:
"Sir Gerry has made an important contribution to Barclays,
initially as Group Deputy Chairman and later as Chairman of
Barclays Bank PLC where he oversaw the establishment of the
subsidiary board and governance arrangements, as well as being a
senior colleague on the Group Board. He has been very active
in, and passionate about, the international business of the Bank
and our major customers. I appreciate everything he has done
for the company and his support of me, and I wish him
well."
Jes Staley, Chief Executive Officer of Barclays said:
"It has been my privilege to have worked with Sir Gerry over these
past three years, first in his capacity as Deputy Chairman of the
Group, and latterly as Chairman of Barclays Bank PLC. I am
deeply grateful to him for the support and counsel he has provided
me personally, as well as for his immense contribution to the
turnaround of our Corporate & Investment Bank in particular. He
has been a great steward of Barclays during his time on the Board
and I wish him huge success in his future
endeavours."
Nigel Higgins, the incoming Chairman-elect of Barclays PLC who
joins the Group Board on 1 March 2019, will assume the Chair of
Barclays Bank PLC from 1 March 2019, subject to the relevant
approvals.
