Bloomberg hosted a reception on 11 September 2023 in honour of Mark Yallop’s 7-year tenure as Chair of FMSB. In attendance were many FMSB supporters including current and former FMSB Advisory Council, Standards Board Members and Working Group Chairs as well as representatives from the Bank of England, Financial Conduct Authority, HM Treasury and Debt Management Office. 

The evening was introduced by Joe McHale, Head of European Government & Regulatory Affairs at Bloomberg LP and featured speeches from Michael Cole-Fontayn, a Non-Executive Director of FMSB, Ashley Alder, Chair of the FCA, James Bardrick, CEO of Citigroup Global Markets Limited, Jonathan Moulds, FMSB’s new Chair as well as Mark himself. The speeches provided a fitting tribute and applauded Mark’s significant contribution to the progress that FMSB has made in the time since he began his appointment as Chair, when there was just him, one other person and no office!
