“I am delighted to announce the appointment of Tony Clifford and Owen Glaysher who have a depth of skills and experience that will make them valuable contributors to the UKEB’s future success.

The reappointment of nine current Board members is testament to the UKEB’s strong Board culture and the achievements of the Board since its inception in 2021. It is with regret that we say farewell to Kathryn Cearns. Kathryn’s contribution and support during the UKEB’s set up phase has been invaluable and, on behalf of the entire Board, I thank her for her contribution to the Board and wish her continued success in her future endeavours.

The UKEB moves forward with a highly experienced Board that is well positioned to meet its statutory responsibilities, influence the development of international accounting standards and deliver for UK stakeholders.”
