PFS Board appointments

CII Executives have previously served on the PFS Board over many years. Reestablishing a PFS Board structure that combines both external and internal knowledge and expertise will ensure the Group’s strategic ambitions for the PFS are best achieved. They include delivering high-quality learning opportunities, developing our exceptional member offer, and making significant advances in our IT services. The additions of our Executive Director, Member Engagement & Learning, and Executive Director, Digital & Information, alongside the Group Chief Executive and Executive Director, Resources & People, will bring additional strength to the PFS Board and help achieve this strategic alignment for the benefit of members.

The CII Group Board would like to put on record its thanks to the four Directors who have left the PFS Board today for their respective contributions over many months. The other Institute appointed Directors – Mike Crane, Edward Grant and Debbie Mitchell – remain in post, ensuring the PFS Board can continue to draw on their extensive backgrounds in financial services and beyond.

Separately, the PFS Board has confirmed that Piers White left his role as Chair and position as Lay Director on 18 September. Christine Elliott returned as a Lay Director on 19 September.
