After a decade as the British lender’s chief executive, the Spaniard was due to depart at the end of next June.

He will continue to fulfil all his current responsibilities until that date, the bank said.
Lloyds will be hoping that the board shows the same benevolence over the departure date of their current wealth and personal banking boss, Charlie Nunn, as Lloyds yesterday appointed him as Horta-Osório’s replacement.
