Barclays Non-executive Director appointment
 
 
 
Barclays PLC has appointed Dr. Brian Gilvary as a Non-executive Director. He will take up his appointment with effect from 1 February 2020.
 
Dr. Gilvary has served as Chief Financial Officer for BP p.l.c. since 2012. He joined BP in 1986 after obtaining a PhD in Mathematics.   After a variety of commercial and financial roles internationally in BP's upstream, downstream and trading businesses, he became chief executive of BP's integrated supply and trading function in 2005 and in 2010 deputy CFO and head of finance.  He will retire from BP on 30 June 2020.
 
His experience outside BP includes serving as a non-executive director and audit committee member of Air Liquide S.A., the Royal Navy, and the Francis Crick Institute. Currently, he is Chairman of 'The 100 Group' of the FTSE 100 Finance Directors.
 
As a member of the Board, Dr. Gilvary will bring to Barclays his extensive experience of management, finance and strategy gained at BP and other public and private Boards. Dr. Gilvary's experience with and understanding of the challenges and opportunities inherent in the energy transition, including the acceleration of key renewable options and developing key capital intensive clean energy technologies, will be invaluable as Barclays considers how it can help to accelerate the transition to a low carbon world.
 
There is no additional information required to be disclosed in relation to Dr. Brian Gilvary pursuant to paragraph LR9.6.13R of the Listing Rules of the Financial Conduct Authority.
