Standard Life Aberdeen today announces the appointment of Noel Butwell, its CEO of Adviser Platforms, to the City of London Corporation (CoLC) independent taskforce to boost socio-economic diversity at senior levels in UK Financial and Professional services (FPS).
Commissioned by HM Treasury and Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy*, the taskforce is the first of its kind with a mission to challenge the lack of career progression for those coming from non-professional backgrounds and to explore the intersections with other protected characteristics, including gender and race.
Over 80 organisations across a range of sub sectors and regions are involved in the taskforce by shaping its outputs and working towards greater socio-economic diversity.
Taskforce Chair and Policy Chair at the City of London Corporation, Catherine McGuinness, said:
The taskforce will run from May 2021-November 2022. For more information, please visit www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/whogetsahead
