“I am very pleased to assume the role of president of the Cotswolds branch,” Swaby expressed of his appointment.

‘’I would like to thank my predecessor, Sandra Paul, for all her hard work and dedication particularly as her time in office was longer than she had anticipated and coincided with the Covid pandemic.

Despite this, she raised the CISI’s profile with many local schools making sure that as many young people as possible could see financial services as a viable career. I look forward to continuing her work with schools and developing the CPD programme with the branch committee and my fellow members.”

Tracy Vegro, CISI chief executive said: “I want to offer congratulations to James on behalf of all at the CISI. As James notes, Sandra has done a great job and we too want to thank her for all her work at the Cotswolds branch.”
