OSB GROUP PLC (“OSB” or the “Group”) today announces that, after more than 11 years with the business, April Talintyre has advised the Board of her intention to retire as Chief Financial Officer and as a Director. The process to appoint her successor, considering both internal and external candidates, will now commence and April will remain in her role until a date to be confirmed to support the transition.

April joined OSB in May 2012 and was appointed to the OSB Board in June 2012. April was previously an Executive Director in the Rothesay Life pensions insurance business of Goldman Sachs and worked for Goldman Sachs International for over 16 years, including as an Executive Director in the Controllers Division in London and New York. April began her career at KPMG LLP in the general audit department. April is a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.

She has been an excellent and trusted support to me through the years, helping to build one of the UK’s leading specialist lenders. I wish her well for her retirement.”

David Weymouth, Chairman of OSB, said: “I and the Board of OSB would like to sincerely thank April for her exceptional contribution and commitment to the business and I wish her all the best for her retirement.”

April Talintyre, Chief Financial Officer of OSB, said: “It was not an easy decision to retire from OSB after working with a fantastic group of people for so long. However, I know I am leaving the Group in a strong position and in safe hands. I would like to extend my thanks to Andy, the Executive Committee, the Board and all of my other colleagues for their hard work, dedication and support throughout my tenure, and I wish them and OSB all the best for the future.”
