The FSA has appointed former Stroud & Swindon boss John Sutherland as a senior adviser on the building society sector.
Sutherland has more than 36 years experience in the retail banking sector, holding several senior positions at Nationwide, including director of sales and marketing.
In 2009, Sutherland was a special adviser to the Bank of England’s special Resolution Unit and, last year, was appointed chief executive of Stroud & Swindon Building Society during its merger with Coventry Building Society.
Hector Sants, chief executive of the FSA, said: “John brings to his role considerable experience of the retail banking sector which will be vital in our work in this area.
“Senior advisors are a core part of the FSA’s delivery of intensive supervision. The team provides experience on regulatory, market and consumer matters.”
