Former NHS England chair Meddings in running to head Prudential - report

By Michele Maatouk

Date: Wednesday 10 Dec 2025

LONDON (ShareCast) - (Sharecast News) - A former chairman of NHS England is reportedly among the candidates being considered as the next chair of FTSE 100 insurer Prudential.
According to Sky News, Richard Meddings - who has worked at TSB and Deutsche Bank - is among a small number of contenders to replace Baroness Shriti Vadera as Prudential's chairman.

City sources told Sky on Wednesday that the search process was at an advanced stage, although it was unclear how many candidates remained in talks with the company and its advisers.

Skys said Meddings would be a logical choice for the job, given his extensive boardroom experience and, more importantly, his tenure as chief financial officer of emerging markets lender Standard Chartered.

Although it is listed in London, Prudential no longer has any meaningful UK operations, having demerged M&G Investments in 2019.

Meddings was chairman of NHS England for three years, having been appointed in 2022. His other public service roles have included a seven-year stint as a non-executive director of the Treasury.

A spokesman for Prudential declined to comment to Sky, while Meddings did not respond to a request for comment.
