Lloyds Banking Group plc as previously announced, Alan Dickinson will take over the role of Deputy Chairman when Anita Frew retires from the Board at the AGM on May 21, 2020. Accordingly, Alan will step down as Chair of the Board Risk Committee at that time and be succeeded by Nicholas Prettejohn, an independent Non-Executive member of the Board. Nick brings extensive prior experience in financial services to the role, including as Chief Executive of Lloyds of London and as Chief Executive of Prudential UK. Since Nick will continue in his role as Chairman of the Group's Insurance subsidiary, Scottish Widows Group Limited, his position as Chair of the Group Board Risk Committee will be for a limited period pending further reallocation of non-executive Board roles planned for later in 2020.
