Anthony Rafferty is managing director of fintech company Origo Services Limited and Viva Rudkin is managing director of Morgan Stanley based in Glasgow, where she is also the co-head of the office.

Their appointments have made them the third and fourth new additions to the board within the last six months.

The recruitment of Mr Rafferty and Ms Rudkin follows the appointment of a new chairman, Philip Grant of Lloyds Banking Group, in June and Sue Dawe, EY’s head of Financial Services in Scotland, as board director in May.

Philip Grant, SFE chairman, said: “The addition of Anthony, Sue and Vida to the SFE Board is hugely positive for the organisation, our membership and the wider industry. SFE has been privileged to have a consistently high calibre of Board Directors, and these new appointments ensure that legacy continues.”

The new board directors will be attending the SFE Annual Dinner which takes place on Thursday this week at the EICC. At the event, the winners of the Scottish Financial Services Awards 2019 will be announced, sponsored by EY.

The ceremony will be hosted by broadcaster Huw Edwards with more than 650 people expected to attend.
