Horta-Osório, LBG Group Chief Executive, says: “We are one of the country’s largest employers and recognise that we have a significant responsibility both to our colleagues and to the communities and businesses in Scotland that we support. Philip will be a great leader and ambassador for the Group in Scotland.” Philip, currently President of the Chartered Banker Institute, started his career with Bank of Scotland at the age of 17.
