PFS Board to begin member Director recruitment process as Anthony Ward announces departure

Reflecting on his decision, Anthony said: “It has been a great honour to play such a significant leadership role on the PFS Board and as President. I would like to thank our wonderful PFS members and the many colleagues with whom I have been fortunate to work on the PFS Board for their kind support. I have been pleased to have been able to add value to the PFS during my tenure, as well as learn from some exceptional professionals. I intend to explore new NED opportunities – alongside my Director role at Barclays Private Bank – that can give me the opportunity to put my extensive experience to good use, adding value in new ways, as well as working with more elite professionals.”

Carla Brown, PFS President, said: “Anthony is hugely respected by all members of the PFS Board, for his work as a Director, most recently as President, and in other roles over his long association with the Society. The PFS Board wishes him well, and we will soon begin a recruitment process to seek members who wish drive our work forward with similar integrity, capability and commitment.”

Ian Callaghan, CII Group President, said: “The CII Board thanks Anthony greatly for his passion, dedication and service on behalf of PFS members over more than 20 years. We know that Anthony will be a terrific asset to whichever organisations are fortunate to attract his interest and benefit from his deep expertise and collegiate approach. His departure creates an opportunity for other PFS members to consider how they might contribute to shaping the future of the Society and we look forward to welcoming them to the PFS Board in due course.”
