Marshall said: “It’s fantastic to have Roger back in the business. His vast banking experience will be invaluable as we continue to grow, while remaining true to the values that have underpinned the Weatherbys family business for more than 250 years. I would also like to thank David for his guidance as Chairman over the past six years. His input has made a significant contribution to the Bank’s success, and we are delighted that he is remaining part of the ‘Weatherby family’ in his role as trustee.”
Weatherby added: “Having been away from the bank for the past six months I am very excited to be back and honoured to be its chairman, continuing my family’s deep association with the bank as it embarks on its next phase of growth. I also look forward to driving forward our creating the future programme, an initiative that is very close to my heart.”
