Platform lures big hitter from St James’s Place, while Axa names next chairman
AJ Bell
The investment platform has attracted two female financial services heavyweights as non-executive directors.
Baroness Helena Morrissey recently stepped down from the St James’s Place board, with the intention of her succeeding AJ Bell chair Les Platts at the company’s next AGM in January 2022.
Morrissey only became a non-executive director at SJP at the start of 2020, and made a controversial start by publicly criticising the firm’s charging structure.
She is joined by Evelyn Bourke, former chief executive of Bupa and formerly of Friends Provident, Standard Life and Chase de Vere.
