Glasgow based financial mutual Scottish Friendly
has appointed Susan Beckett as a non-executive director.
Susan has more than 30 years' financial services experience and
will continue in her role as chief risk officer at Brewin Dolphin,
a FTSE 25O wealth management firm. She previously held senior
positions at a range of blue-chip firms including Schroders, JP
Morgan, Barclays Global Investors, BlackRock, Kleinwort Benson and
the BT Pension Scheme.
At Scottish Friendly, Susan will chair the Board Risk Committee,
having received the necessary regulatory approval.
Susan is also currently a non-executive director and chair of
the Board Risk Committee for Brewin Dolphin Wealth Management,
Dublin, and executive sponsor of Women at Brewin, a network aimed
at influencing a traditional culture to grow and become more
inclusive.
As assets under management continue to grow at Scottish
Friendly, following the acquisition of £2.4 billion of life and
pensions business from Canada Life, Susan's risk management
experience will play an integral role in the company's
development.
Jim Galbraith, Chief Executive, Scottish Friendly
said: "Susan will play a critical role in helping to
grow the business by providing important, strategic counsel as we
continue to deliver sustainable growth in value for new and
existing members".
