Richard Lloyd steps in as interim chair of the FCA
Richard Lloyd (pictured) has become interim chair of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), after Charles Randell stood down from the role.
Randell was chair of the regulator for four years, and Lloyd will now act as chair until the Treasury appoints a permanent replacement.
The recruitment process is underway, the FCA said.
Lloyd joined the FCA Board in April 2019 and has been senior independent director, chair of the board risk committee and chair of the oversight committee.
Alongside his role at the FCA, Lloyd also chairs the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority and is a council member of the Advertising Standards Authority. He was a founding trustee of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute.
