HSBC poaches Greenhill exec; WH Ireland appoints 2 directors, Hargreaves loses 1

S&P Global Market Intelligence presents a daily roundup of management and board changes at financial institutions in Europe. This feature excludes C-level leadership changes and previously reported stories.

HSBC

* HSBC Holdings PLC appointed Ed Welsh as the global head of business services and is vetting him for regulatory approval, a person close to the bank told Financial News. Welsh will join from the U.S.-based investment bank Greenhill & Co. Inc. where he serves as a managing director.

WH Ireland

* WH Ireland Group PLC named Simon Lough a nonexecutive director of the company — effective immediately — after securing regulatory approval from the Financial Conduct Authority. WH Ireland also appointed Alistair Buchanan a nonexecutive director, pending regulatory approval. Lough and Buchanan will also serve on the group's audit, risk, nomination and remuneration committee.

Hargreaves Lansdown

* Hargreaves Lansdown PLC said Jayne Styles, a nonexecutive director, decided against seeking reelection for her role on the board at the firm's Oct. 10 annual general meeting, and will step down on the same day. The company said it does not intend to look for a replacement immediately since it deems the board's composition appropriate for now in terms of size, independence and diversity.
