New Trustee at Lloyds Bank Foundation

Monday 27 July 2020

Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands has appointed a new Trustee.

Alasdair Gardner was formerly a Trustee of Bank of Scotland Foundation (BoSF) and held senior leadership positions within Lloyds Banking Group.

The Foundation says he has a career spanning 30 years in the banking industry, starting as a graduate trainee with Bank of Scotland in 1987. 

In 2009, Alasdair was involved in the set-up of the Bank of Scotland Foundation – one of Lloyds Banking Group’s four independently registered country Foundations. 

Commenting on his new appointment on the Board of Lloyds Bank Foundation for the Channel Islands, he said: “The opportunity to become a trustee of the Foundation is really exciting for me. Lloyds Bank Foundation carries out fantastic work across the Channel Islands, supporting incredible charities, who themselves undertake very valuable work in our communities. Having been involved in the creation of the Bank of Scotland Foundation, I hope that I can bring broad and important experience to the board and play a role in maintaining the strong relationship with the Bank and its colleagues across the islands. I look forward to working with the team in supporting their work and engagement with external stakeholders.”

Chair of the Foundation, Katie Le Quesne, added: “When it comes to new appointments, our objective is to ensure we bring new energy and ideas to the board, which Alasdair undoubtedly does. His experience in working with government and politicians will be invaluable to the Board; further developing our current dialogue and desire to find new ways to work with government and other funders in a proactive and joined-up approach in order to effectively tackle complex social issues and to help the people in our communities who need our help most.”
