Triodos Bank chief executive to step down

The CEO of Triodos Bank UK, Bevis Watts, has decided to step down from his position in 2025.

In what will be his 10th year leading Triodos Bank UK and as part of board succession planning, Watts said that “it is the right time.”

He will continue to lead Triodos Bank UK until the half year point (end of June 2025) and a recruitment process for his successor is underway.

His departure will coincide with Triodos Bank’s 30th anniversary in the UK in 2025.

Bevis Watts, CEO of Bristol-based Triodos Bank UK, said: “I’m immensely grateful for the support of our customers and coworkers.  We have achieved a huge amount together in building and growing the bank but more importantly we have pioneered the financing of several national ‘firsts’ in social and environmental projects and we have delivered a huge body of work that has been at the forefront of advocating for change in the financial system. I know that Triodos will continue to be a reference point and source of inspiration on how banking must change to be a force for good.”

Gary Page, chair of Triodos Bank UK, said: ”The bank is a much larger and more impactful organisation thanks to Bevis’s transformational leadership and with a strong team to take the bank forward to fulfil our ambitions to finance change and change finance.  He has always been a great champion for what we stand for and everything we do. We are immensely grateful for his contribution over many years and all he has done for Triodos. I am delighted that Bevis will be remaining with the bank to support the handover process with his successor.”
