Sir Douglas Flint CBE

Chairman

“2024 marked a further year of transition, during which good progress was made in returning Aberdeen to a position from which it can grow sustainably, deliver the profitability required by our shareholders and offer the career opportunities and recognition our colleagues seek. Our transition is based upon building profitability in all three of our Wealth and Investment businesses, each of which has good potential for growth, with each at a different stage of development.”
