Bester luck at Co-op

The Co-operative Bank has named a former Lloyds bigwig as its new boss.

Andrew Bester replaces outgoing chief executive Liam Coleman, whose departure was announced in June after just a year-anda-half in the role.

Bester joins from Lloyds Banking Group, where he led the turnaround of its commercial and wholesale banking business over the five years to 2017.
