For the new and the havering loon who asked that because Jim Coyle, “in that he’s getting on a bit”, (I reckon mid 60’s), “do you think he is having a punt due to the fact it means nothing to him, because I’m sure he’s already caked” (apparently ‘caked’ is slang this refers to the size of posterior? but I presume this reference can only be referring to his heels), anyway, in summary, just to bear these facts in mind when considering if he is doing this for a “punt” Jim Coyle HSBC Bank Board 2015- now, M&S Bank Board 2015-now, Supply@MECapital plc Chair 2021, Board and SID of Honeycomb Investment Trust 2015-now, Scottish Water Board 2016-now, Deloitte Oversight Board 2019-now , World First Board Chair 2017- 2019, Lloyds Banking Group 1991- 2015, BP Group 1981- 1990 and KPMG 1977- 1981. He is also a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers in Scotland and a past member of the Council of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland.
Formerly, he also was Chair of Worldfirst , sat on the Board of the Scottish Building Society, the Board and Chair of the Audit and Risk of Committee of Voca Link Holdings Ltd, on the Board of Scottish Financial Enterprise and a member of the BBA Audit Committee and various FRC committees.
He also sat on the LBG Scottish Executive Committee and sponsored the Contingency Planning Project for LBG on the Scottish Referendum.
In 2012, he was appointed Group Financial Controller/Deputy Finance Director at (LBG), having previously been Divisional Finance Director, Group Operations. He was a key member of the LBG Finance Board, leading various projects eg IFRS and managing down the Group wide cost base. Also gained extensive experience in Strategy, M&A, Risk Management and all aspects of Audit, Finance and Accounting from 25 years in the industry.
After graduating with a degree in Law and Accountancy from Glasgow University, he had qualified as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG. Prior to joining Bank of Scotland, in 1990, he spent 10 years in the oil industry holding senior positions with BP. He became Group Chief Accountant of Bank of Scotland in 1998. So our young man asks is he, in his dotage, looking for a mere ‘punt’ or do we believe he’s genuinely got good intentions.
In your mid 60’s there comes a time for reflection on how your life has (passed so quick!) and how it has developed. I feel certain that Mr Coyle has absolutely no intention of putting on his slippers and sitting in front of the fire. He will reflect on all the above, as in these years the most valuable things are your family and the legacy of your working years. My friend, do you really think that Jim Coyle would, for a second, for one second, risk his decades of respect, and his reputation, on a ‘punt’. Of course not. Look at his credentials, where he has worked, he will have done more than due diligence, he will have crawled over every millimetre of this business and thought this is the most exciting thing he’s come across.
