Appointment of Chief Financial Officer

7 February 2017

Shawbrook Group plc ('Shawbrook' or 'the Group'), the specialist lending and savings bank, announces the appointment of Dylan Minto as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director of Shawbrook Group plc with effect from 6 February.

Dylan's appointment follows an extensive market search for the best candidate following the departure of Tom Wood in June.

Dylan joined Shawbrook in September 2013 and has become an integral part of the senior management team. He played a significant role in the IPO preparations and the development of the 2020 strategy evolution. Dylan has successfully taken on the interim CFO role since Tom Wood's departure and continues to be a key contributor to the wider business.

Prior to Shawbrook, he was at KPMG for eleven years where he qualified as a chartered accountant, had a high profile M&A client facing role and worked on a number of major UK and European bank resolution projects.

Shawbrook's CEO, Steve Pateman, says: "I am delighted to confirm Dylan as Shawbrook's CFO. Dylan has been instrumental in the success and achievements of Shawbrook since joining in 2013.

"Dylan's experience within the Group, the relationship he holds with investors and analysts, and his wider involvement in the sector prepare him well for the CFO role. In addition, Dylan's exceptional standards and values mean he will be an increasingly important leader at Shawbrook and one I look forward to continuing to work with". 

Shawbrook's CFO, Dylan Minto, commented: "I am delighted to be taking on this role at such an exciting time in Shawbrook's evolution. The Group has a clear vision through to 2020, which is firmly understood by its people and delivered through its approach to the poorly served markets it operates in. I look forward to working with Steve and the team through the next phase of the Group's journey to ensure we deliver on its significant potential."

There is no information to be disclosed pursuant to LR 9.6.13R in respect of Dylan Minto.
