clocktower: the huge profits and cutting costs sounds good...
Thanks

I heard a rumour that the Bank is cutting IT staff in the UK by stealth and there is a deferral by not employing new recruits, to cut costs, and even though they are making huge profits in the UK.

Oh dear, the front page of tomorrow's Observer leads with a story that NWG's new chair is under scrutiny over his former roll with PetroSaudi, which is embroiled in one of the world's biggest financial scandals, involving 1MDB.
If his appointment is indeed rethought, perhaps the two Thwaites could be followed by two tea ladies, as the next pair in charge??

I wonder whether Katie Murray will hang around much longer?

[polar fox] 07/9/2023 08:10

The Times online has a picture of the new man - calls him a "City veteran" (born in 1956). A safe pair of hands...???

Now that we have Haythornthwaite appointed as Chair and a CEO named Thwaite, it rang a bell from many years ago - isn't Thwaite a northern English name, associated with flat caps and people who watch rugby league?, I asked myself. And there were more than a few of them in the NatPro before it merged with the Westminster, Yorkshire lads, some of them.

Sure enough, Google has the answer:

What does Thwaite mean in a surname?

The distinguished surname Thwaite is thought to have emerged in the border region between North England and Scotland. It is derived from the Old Norse "pveit," meaning "meadow, piece of land." Thus, the name originally referred to a "dweller at the meadow."

Unfortunately, for me, it's just another sign of the bank's gradual decline into mediocrity. A spell managed by two antipodeans, followed by a spell managed by two women; and now two Thwaites!

The share price closed up one pence from where it stood at 1:30pm.
I don't know dear Rick from a hole in the ground, but he sure has a low profile for someone with such a lengthy job record.
