In addition, Mike Ellis, (56), former Group Finance Director at HBOS plc, is rejoining the Group and the Board in September to resume his previous responsibilities as Finance Director. Mike is joining HBOS following Phil Hodkinson's, (49), decision to retire as Group Finance Director on his 50th birthday next April. Jo Dawson, (45), Chief Executive, Insurance & Investment, will take responsibility with immediate effect for Retail Distribution - including the Retail branch network, and HBOS's other retail sales, intermediary and specialist banking teams - in addition to her existing Insurance & Investment responsibilities. Dan Watkins, (44), currently Group Risk Director and a member of the Executive Committee, joins the board as Chief Executive, Retail Products. Dan will be responsible for the design and manufacture of the Group's Retail products, including marketing and e-commerce. Following these structural changes, Benny Higgins, (46), CEO, Retail, has decided to leave the Group. Benny will leave at the end of the year and will work with Jo Dawson and Dan Watkins in the interim period. Philip Gore-Randall will join the board, subject to FSA approval, in September. He will be responsible for IT, major change programmes, the Group's cost efficiency improvement programme and a range of other Group functions. Philip is a chartered accountant with extensive experience in the UK and overseas at a senior level in large financial organisations. As well as being COO at AON, he was Chairman and Chief Executive at Aon Risk Services. A Managing Partner at Andersen for many years, Philip was subsequently elected UK Managing Partner and then appointed Managing Partner and Chief Operating Officer for the worldwide practice. Mike Ellis will be responsible for business planning and performance, investor relations, and a range of other functions. Mike will rejoin the board, subject to FSA approval on 25th September and will work closely with Phil before he leaves the Group on 30th April 2008. From 1st January 2008, Mike will assume the role of Group Finance Director; Phil will then work closely with him on the preparation of the 2007 results and will continue to lead the Group's corporate responsibility and climate change programmes. Mike Ellis retired as Group Finance Director at HBOS at the end of 2005 following 17 years service at the Group. Phil Hodkinson was appointed CEO of the Group's Insurance & Investment division in 2001. Under Phil's leadership, HBOS delivered very significant growth across its Insurance & Investment business, including the successful launch of Halifax Home Insurance and the first no load bancassurance range in the UK. In 2005, Phil was appointed Group Finance Director with responsibility for business planning and performance, investor relations and a range of other important functions. He also has board level accountability for corporate responsibility and the HBOS Foundation, an independent, registered charity funded by donations from the Group. Phil is also a board member of Business in the Community. Jo Dawson joined the board in May 2006, as Chief Executive, Insurance & Investment, with responsibility for developing the Group's position as the UK's largest investment provider and a leading player in general insurance. Jo joined the Halifax in 2000 as General Manager, Retail Sales, with responsibility for sales management and the development of the UK's largest bancassurance business. Dan Watkins, currently Group Risk Director, was previously Retail Risk Director and, prior to that, Managing Director, at Birmingham Midshires, the Group's specialist mortgage lending arm. Dan led the very successful development of the Birmingham Midshires franchise, including the doubling of its mortgage book and a significant expansion in liquid savings. Dan joined the Group from Morgan Grenfell in 1993. Benny Higgins joined HBOS in May 2006 from Royal Bank of Scotland where he was Head of Retail Banking. At HBOS, Benny has successfully managed the Group's Retail business, including maintaining its leadership position in mortgages. He also led the Group's continued significant growth in current accounts and the expansion of its liquid savings book, reinforcing HBOS's number one position in the process. Following these changes, the executive directors are: Andy Hornby (Group Chief Executive); Phil Hodkinson/Mike Ellis (Group Finance Director/Group Finance Director Designate); Philip Gore-Randall (Chief Operating Officer); Peter Cummings (Chief Executive, Corporate); Jo Dawson (Chief Executive, Retail Distribution and Insurance & Investment); Dan Watkins (Chief Executive, Retail Products); Colin Matthew (Chief Executive, International and Treasury & Asset Management). Andy Hornby, Group Chief Executive said: "I am delighted that Philip Gore-Randall is joining the Group. Philip has extensive commercial experience at the highest level. His management and leadership skills will be a great asset to the Group. Phil Hodkinson has made a major contribution to the Group both as Finance Director and Chief Executive of our Insurance & Investment business. We are naturally sorry to see Phil leave but understand his wish to pursue other interests, especially in the charitable sector where he is already very active. In Mike Ellis, we welcome back to the Group someone with an intimate knowledge of HBOS. I know Mike is really looking forward to getting fully involved again. The structural changes we have introduced in our Retail business are right for the Group. Benny Higgins felt that the new structure was not right for him so he has decided to move on. We thank Benny for his contribution during his time at HBOS and wish him all the best in the future. Jo Dawson and Dan Watkins have outstanding track records developing and leading businesses within our Retail and Insurance & Investment divisions. They are exceptionally well placed to develop our Retail and Insurance & Investment franchises." Philip Gore-Randall commented: "I am very pleased to be joining HBOS. HBOS is a very strong business with exciting growth plans. I look forward to helping to drive those plans forward." Phil Hodkinson said: "I have really enjoyed the seven years I have been an executive director at HBOS. I am particularly pleased to be handing over to Mike Ellis, with whom I worked for a number of years. I feel the time is right for me to do other things, particularly in the charity world, but I will continue to take a close interest in HBOS." Mike Ellis said: "It is great to be back. HBOS is a first class organisation which I know very well. Having tried the 'plural life' for a few years, I am really looking forward to being 'singular' once more and fully involved in the business." Benny Higgins commented: "I have really enjoyed working with so many colleagues across HBOS so it has not been an easy decision for me to leave. I wish the Group all the best in the future."
