BOARD APPOINTMENTS
The Board of SSE plc is pleased to announce the appointment of
two new non-Executive Directors, The Rt Hon Elish Angiolini QC and

comprise six men and six women.
The Rt Hon Elish Angiolini QC
Elish has been Principal of St Hugh's College, Oxford since 2012
and is also a Pro-Vice Chancellor of Oxford University and

across two government administrations - having previously been
Solicitor General for Scotland. Since then she has also carried out
a number of independent public inquiries and reviews for both the
UK and Scottish Governments.
Elish is Chair of the Disciplinary Board of the Institute of

member of the Medical and Dental Defence Union of Scotland. She
acts as a Patron of several charities and was awarded a Damehood in
2011 for her legal achievements.
Debbie Crosbie
Debbie is currently Chief Executive Officer of TSB and has over
25 years of experience in Scottish financial services. Prior to her

Operating Officer of Clydesdale Bank, having worked for 22 years at
National Australia Bank Group Europe.
Debbie is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers and a

Each Director of SSE plc is subject to annual re-appointment and
these new appointments to the Board from September 2021 will be the
subject of separate resolutions at the Company's Annual General
Meeting 2022.
Sir John Manzoni, Chair of SSE plc, said:
"I am very pleased that Elish and Debbie are joining SSE's
Board. Elish has exceptional legal and academic experience and
Debbie has a wealth of financial knowledge so both will bring deep
insights from their extensive careers. Both will bring a Scottish
and wider perspective and will add further depth to the Board. I
look forward to working with them, the rest of the Board and the
wider SSE team as we continue to take SSE forward, in doing so,
helping the UK and other countries deliver on net zero
ambitions".
