          THE CHAIRMAN SEPT 2014 - Barclays has turned to John McFarlane to rebuild its relationship with shareholders, appointing the Scottish-born banker as its chairman.

          McFarlane replaces Sir David Walker, who was parachuted into the bank during the Libor rigging crisis in 2012.

          The appointment triggered boardroom changes at the other companies McFarlane chaired, including the insurer Aviva.

          A high-profile figure in Australian banking circles in the runup to the banking crisis, McFarlane was picked by Aviva to shore up its reputation during the 2012 shareholder spring.

          The insurer has now replaced the 67-year-old with City veteran Sir Adrian Montague.

          McFarlane will join the board of Barclays as a non-executive director on a £250,000 annual fee – becoming the bank's highest paid non-executive – and step up as chairman after the annual meeting in 2015, when his annual fee will rise to £800,000, including a £100,000 allotment of shares in the bank.
