Simon Miller has announced that he will retire from the board of Hampden Bank in August 2025. Having previously helped to found the bank in 2010, Simon was appointed chair in May 2020.
David Huntley, a non-executive director since 2020, has been chosen as the next chair, subject to regulatory approval.
Simon Miller said: “I have thoroughly enjoyed my term as chair of Hampden Bank. I welcome the board’s appointment of David Huntley as my successor, subject to regulatory approval. David joined the board not long after me as chair of the risk committee. He is a trained actuary and draws on a distinguished executive, board and consultancy career, latterly as chair of Scottish Friendly. He has a deep knowledge of the Bank, its culture and ethos. I leave the bank in good hands as it prepares for its next phase of growth.”
Tracey Davidson, CEO, added: “As a founding shareholder, Simon believed in the vision of building a new private bank dedicated to providing exceptional client service. As chair, he held true to that vision and took great interest in supporting and developing our people to deliver it. I thank him on behalf of the board and all at Hampden Bank. We are delighted that David has agreed to be our next chair, subject to regulatory approval. I look forward to working with him to write the next chapter in the bank’s story.”
David Huntley said: “I believe passionately that the relentless focus on client service, which has characterised the bank in its first decade, is the cornerstone of its future growth.”
