António Horta-Osório: ‘Lloyds was about to die’
Next week, after a successful 15-year spell in the UK, António Horta-Osório will board a plane to Zurich hoping to have a similar impact in Switzerland.
When the Portuguese banker made Britain his home in 2006, he was a relative unknown, dispatched by Spain’s Banco Santander to run its new UK arm, the former Abbey National. But in the years that followed he has become a pillar of the British establishment, as few foreign bankers have: he was picked by the chancellor of the exchequer to bring the part-nationalised Lloyds Bank back from near-death; he was granted a plum role on the governing court of the Bank of England; and from day one he has played tennis at that sporting icon of the ruling class, Queen’s Club in West Kensington.
New online support launched for people in North Wales with mental health problems
An online support service has been launched to help reduce the loneliness and isolation experienced by people with mental health problems and their carers across North Wales.
‘North Wales Space’ has been funded by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and delivered by Welsh mental health charity, Hafal.
The online peer support community, which is monitored 24/7, offers a safe space for people to talk about their mental health in a supportive environment, connect with others in similar situations, and receive useful information on services in all six counties of North Wales.
Clockwise from top left: The Falkirk Wheel, one of the two Kelpie statues, and the new polymer banknote THE Bank of Scotland has today unveiled the design of its new polymer £50 note. The new note, which will enter circulation on July 1, will be predominantly red, as opposed to the traditional green. It will feature the Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies on the reverse, while keeping Edinburgh’s Mound and a portrait of Walter Scott on the front. The Bank of Scotland said the Kelpies’ inclusion on the note is “in celebration of the contribution of horses to the history of Scotland”.
