Cordjia's Shane Flynn Named Chairman of Chester Renaissance

Flynn lived inChester, a city of 120,000 in the northwest ofEngland, from 2004 to 2006 when he served as chief executive officer of MBNA Europe (now Bank of America), which had its European headquarters in the city.

"I was impressed byChester as soon as I moved there," Flynn said. "It's a great city, but it's in need of improvements that will help ensure long-term economic, social, and environmental development, while fulfilling the city's desire to become a 'must-see' European destination."

Flynn will chair the private and public sector partnership board that will oversee the 1.5 billion pounds Chester Renaissance program of new developments and city center improvements that aims to makeChester an outstanding place to live, visit and do business.

"We are absolutely delighted to have secured Shane Flynn as chairman," said Chester and West Cheshire Council leader-elect Mike Jones. "ForChester to achieve its vision it needs to be able to attract international investment. In Shane we have someone who has a commitment toChester and the international experience to make this happen. He is highly respected throughout the financial world, and he has lived and worked inChester so knows the city well - both its good points and the areas where we need to improve."
