Jim Armitage: TSB should not say Yes to an old Lloyds hand
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Outlook Speaking of Lloyds, I hear the black horse bank's young foal TSB will be appointing its new chairman in the next couple of weeks.
Dennis Holt, a former Lloyds board member, and two others have reached the last stages of the process at the bank that likes to say "Yes." Should be a fun job, leading a FTSE 250 flotation in the middle of next year.
But I can't help thinking they'd do better hiring a woman who's not been at the Lloyds stable before. Key to TSB's marketing story is to ice the perception that it is simply Lloyds Lite.
