(Asian independent) NatWest has appointed Gurpal Kaur Grewal, Kiran Kaur and Surinder Kaur Pandha as the new global chairs of the bank’s Sikh Network.
The network aims to support the bank to achieve its purpose to champion potential, and help colleagues, customers and communities through the teachings of the founder of the Sikh faith, Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji.
The new chairs replace Manjit Kaur Kang and Kuljit Singh Dulai who completed their two-year tenure earlier this month.
James Holian, Executive Sponsor of the Sikh Network said: “Following a strong field of applications and a rigorous selection process, I was delighted to see colleagues with the right attributes selected at the helm of the network. They bring a diverse range of skills and experience which will help build on the strong foundations already put in place by the outgoing chairs. I am very much looking forward to working with our three new chairs.”
