HSBC has announced that former government minister Lord Digby Jones is to be the chairman of its new International Business Advisory Board.
In his first role since leaving as minister for trade, the former director-general of the Confederation of British Industry will advise HSBC on developing its international business services for UK companies.
Lord Jones will also work to establish an educational programme to help UK businesses to "take advantage" of cross-border trade and support overseas trade missions.
Paul Thurston, HSBC's managing director, said Lord Jones was "passionate about British business" and can bring with him "great experience in helping UK businesses connect to foreign markets".
He added: "Many British businesses are looking at opportunities to build their business in overseas markets and HSBC, with our unrivalled global network, is uniquely placed to help them."
The International Federation of Accountants recently announced it was seeking nominations for its boards and committees in 2010.
