CC's Popham to champion UK financial services as chair of new City body

Clifford Chance senior partner Stuart Popham is to chair a new organisation that will represent the interests of the UK’s financial services industry. TheCityUK will launch on Thursday with the aims of promoting the financial services industry abroad, to encourage better understanding of the sector in the UK, and to lobby the Government over future EU regulation. Popham, who is already chair of the CBI London Council, said the new body would “steer a clear, well-defined course through the inevitable changes, reforms and reappraisals” that would affect the industry in the aftermath of the banking crisis.
