Tookey takes full-time Lloyds TSB FD role

Tim Tookey has been appointed group FD of Lloyds TSB, after acting in the role since Helen Weir moved to head up the bank's retail banking division.

Tookey joined Lloyds TSB in 2006.

Eric Daniels, Lloyds TSB group chief executive, said: 'I am delighted to see Tim take up the group finance director role given his excellent track record of delivery. This has been demonstrated particularly by his immense contribution to the group over the last six months in the acting group finance director position, during what has been a period of unprecedented turmoil in global financial services markets.'

Sir Victor Blank, Lloyds TSB chairman, said; 'Tim has built a fantastic reputation, both internally and externally, during his two and a half years with the group. He is a highly regarded figure in the UK financial services industry and a natural choice to manage the group's financial strength over the coming years.'
