Santander UK has confirmed the appointment of Nathan Bostock as its chief executive.
He joined the lender last month as deputy chief executive, and replaces Ana Botin, who will stay on the UK board in a non-executive capacity.
She became chairman of the parent Santander banking group earlier this month after her father Emilio Botin died.
Before joining the UK arm of Santander, Mr Bostock was finance director at Royal Bank of Scotland, where he was replaced by Ewen Stevenson. Mr Bostock had intended to leave RBS in 2011 to join Lloyds Banking Group, but reconsidered his decision.He has also served as finance director, among other roles, at Abbey National, where he worked between 2001 and 2009 and which became part of the Santander group.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
