Oct 6 (Reuters) - UK Finance, a banking industry body, said
on Tuesday David Postings has been appointed as its new chief
executive.
Postings, who earlier worked for Bibby Financial Services,
will be joining the trade body as the chief executive starting
Jan. 1 next year.
The announcement comes after senior British bank lobbyist
Stephen Jones resigned from the trade body group as its chief
executive in June over comments he made in 2008 about
businesswoman Amanda Staveley, who arranged billions of pounds
of rescue financing for Barclays Plc at the height of
the credit crisis when he was at the bank.
