Healy appointed NIB chief executive

NATIONAL Irish Bank (NIB) has appointed 38-year-old Andrew Healy as its new chief executive.

Mr Healy joins NIB from Ulster Bank, where he spent the bulk of his career and most recently held the role of managing director of its retail operations in the North.

He replaces John Trethowan, who acted as chief executive since the bank was formally taken over by Denmark’s Danske Bank.
