People and Business: Treasury job
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.WHAT WILL the Sir Humphreys make of it? The Treasury, that most secretive and elitist of government departments, has appointed its first ever non-executive director to join the Treasury Management Board (TMB).
Margaret Exley insists, however, that the Whitehall inmates were "very welcoming, relaxed and friendly" on her first day in the new job yesterday.
Ms Exley already juggles a number of taxing roles. Married with two children, she is head of "change management communications and measurement" at Towers Perrin, the consultancy. As such she is currently helping Shell to sort out its global management restructuring. She has also sat on a number of other boards, including the Insolvency Services Board at the DTI and the Vehicle Inspectorate at the Department of Environment and Transport.
The new job at the Treasury will involve a meeting once a fortnight. She says she is most interested in "what it takes to manage change in a very traditional and complicated organisation."
