“Her appointment reflects our commitment to strong, forward-looking governance, and she will be instrumental in advancing our strategic goals.
“I would also like to thank Patrick for his outstanding contribution over the past nine years. During his tenure, he has overseen significant growth and the expansion of both platforms, while further strengthening the governance and Board capabilities.
“Patrick has played a pivotal role in championing our Consumer Duty work and shaping our robust governance culture. We wish him every happiness in his retirement.”
Felisky added, “I am honoured to take on the role of Chair of the Boards of AIUK and AMAL during a period of continued strong momentum for the businesses.
