Energy company SSE has appointed Elish Angiolini and Debbie Crosbie to the board as non-executive directors.
The Rt Hon Elish Angiolini QC is principal of St Hugh’s College, Oxford. She served as Lord Advocate of Scotland from 2006 to 2011 and was previously Solicitor General for Scotland. Angiolini is chair of the disciplinary board of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland and a non-executive board member of the Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland.
Debbie Crosbie is chief executive officer of TSB and was previously an executive director and chief operating officer at Clydesdale Bank. She is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers and a member of the Glasgow Economic Leadership Board and the Strathclyde University Business School Advisory Board.
Both Angiolini and Crosbie will join the board and nomination committee in September.
Sir John Manzoni, chair of SSE, said: “Elish has exceptional legal and academic experience and Debbie has a wealth of financial knowledge so both will bring deep insights from their extensive careers. Both will bring a Scottish and wider perspective and will add further depth to the board. I look forward to working with them, the rest of the board and the wider SSE team as we continue to take SSE forward, in doing so, helping the UK and other countries deliver on net zero ambitions”.
