New, long, neutral enough (BLP). Hook checks out & is interesting. No copying detected. Hook contained obvious typo: "when she was became chief executive" - "was" removed. Johnbod (talk) 17:35, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

The ref says "...she became the first female of a British clearing bank." Does this really mean the first female to head such a bank? Is there another ref that can be used to corroborate this point? I thought that means she was the lead female of the bank. --PFHLai (talk) 22:44, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Ah, yes. I mentally supplied the missing word! There are a bunch of examples from her press kit in this search, including the BBC. Nom, please upgrade the ref. Johnbod (talk) 13:42, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
