He said: “I’m delighted to have been appointed to the role of chairman.
”Ecclesiastical is truly unique in the financial services world because its purpose, unlike other companies, is to contribute to the greater good of society.
“This is an exciting time for the company, with ambitious plans for next year, and I look forward to helping Ecclesiastical achieve its ambition to become a movement for good in society.”
Mark Hews, group chief executive at Ecclesiastical commented: “David has a wealth of industry experience and I’m delighted with his appointment as chairman.
“I’d also like to thank John Hylands for his service to the board over the past 11 years and wish him well for the future.”
