OSB Group PLC on Thursday said Chief Executive Officer Andy Golding will leave the company by the end of 2026. The Kent, England-based bank said it has started the search for a new CEO, assisted by a third party. Until his departure, Golding will continue as a board director and CEO and will ‘continue to focus on delivering the strategy...set out at the investor update in March 2025’, OSB said, including the 2025 and 2026 financial guidance and ‘medium-term aspirations’. OSB confirmed the recent trading update for the nine months to the end of September that it is on track to meet 2025 guidance. ‘OSBG is an amazing bank with delivery for its customers, owners and staff at the very heart of what the group does.

Chair David Weymouth said: ‘Andy has made invaluable contributions in the creation of the OSB Group over the last 14 years.
