Abstract

Stewart takes up his post on 1 January, replacing current chairman Gerald Gregory, who leaves the lender after nine years on the board. Stewart is currently the senior independent director at the lender, and has been a non-executive director since 2020. Belfast-based Danske Bank UK is part of Denmark's Danske Bank Group, which is one of the largest financial services companies in Scandinavia. The UK business launched a carbon-neutral mortgage in Northern Ireland last June, the first of its kind to be certified by the Carbon Trust, and entered the rest of the UK market with the product in January.
