The CISI has appointed a new President to head its Liverpool branch. 

Louise McEveley has four years’ experience on the CISI Liverpool branch committee and more than 13 years’ experience in the financial services sector.
 
She is a vice president at BNY Mellon’s Pershing Limited with responsibility for the ongoing “optimisation of the operations function.”

Based in Liverpool, where Pershing has an office of more than 200 employees, she has worked at the company since 2005.
 
She will take over the role from outgoing President, James Charlton, Chartered FCSI.

She said: “I am honoured to be taking up this role and continue the legacy built up by James.

“Under his guidance, the Liverpool branch has become a pioneer committee for its work with local schools, colleges and firms.

“Our professional careers insight programmes for students have supported local young people to become excited by a career in finance.

“Continuing the work of the Liverpool branch in supporting the local region, particularly through education programmes, will be a key priority for us over the coming year.

“We are committed to driving a collaborative approach in our initiatives to ensure a more accurate representation of the local community in Liverpool’s financial services profession.”
 
Mr Charlton said: “I am extremely proud to have led the committee over what has been a pivotal two year period for the Liverpool, Chester and North Wales branch.”
 
Richard Bennett, CISI regional director said: “We are delighted to welcome Louise as the new Liverpool CISI branch committee president and I would like to thank outgoing President James Charlton for his excellent leadership.”
