The Financial Services Practitioner Panel has appointed a deputy chairman and two new members.

The new members, who will start on 1 September, are John Hitchins, Financial Services Partner at PwC and Alexander (JJ) Justham, CEO of London Stock Exchange plc.

Both have been appointed as sector representatives, taking over from members who recently left the Practitioner Panel.

Meanwhile, Paul Swann has been appointed deputy chairman of the Practitioner Panel from 1st July 2012. He is president and managing director, ICE Clear Europe and has been a member of the Practitioner Panel since November 2010.

“I am pleased to be welcoming two well regarded and experienced new members to the Practitioner Panel, as well as a leading member of the Markets community in Paul Swann as Deputy Chairman,” said Joe Garner, chairman of the Practitioner Panel.

“At this time of regulatory change, it is vital that the Practitioner Panel continues to be able to offer the cross sectoral and senior level perspective to the FSA, particularly as plans are developed for the new Financial Conduct Authority and the Prudential Regulation Authority.”
