Woods is currently executive director for insurance at the PRA, the branch of the Bank of England (BoE) responsible for micro-prudential policy. He will take up the role of deputy governor of the BoE and chief executive of the PRA for a five-year, renewable term when Bailey moves to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) on July 1.
