Message from John Varley: Naguib Kheraj
Friday, 30 March 2007
Today is Naguib Kheraj's last day as Finance Director. However, he is staying at
Barclays in an advisory capacity, playing a key role in the ABN AMRO
discussions.
This short message enables me to convey my sincere thanks to Naguib for his
invaluable contribution to the Group during his 10 years with us. It also allows
me to welcome Chris Lucas, who becomes Finance Director on Monday.
