(Alliance News) - Metro Bank PLC's interim Chief Risk Officer Grahame McGirr has quit the company days before he was set to formally take up the role, Sky News reported on Wednesday.
McGirr, Sky News said, had been lined up to replace Aileen Gillian on an interim basis from March 1. However, he departed last week.
Sky News said the circumstances surrounding McGirr's departure were unclear, though said Metro Bank had said he was "asked to leave" after working at Metro Bank for just two weeks.
