These changes are part of a restructuring of the executive team to support the

exceptional track record in the financial services industry. We have a clear
five year plan for Scottish Widows which Archie Kane has the wide financial
services experience to implement - along with the excellent team that Mike Ross
has built during his many years as Chief Executive of Scottish Widows."
