CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER OF BANK OF ENGLAND HAS BEEN NAMED THE MOST INFLUENTIAL BLACK PERSON IN THE UK

- By HANNAH ROBERTS

FAMOUS names like Idris Elba, Steven Bartlett and Ian Wright have been named on a list of the UK's most influential black people - but on top of the pile is someone from Croydon.

The Powerlist, published by Powerful Media, identifies the UK's most powerful people of African, African Caribbean and African American heritage in the UK.

The 2026 list is topped by Afua Kyei, chief financial officer and executive director of the Bank of England, with former England footballer and sports broadcaster Wright, 61, the runner-up.

Makeup artist Dame Pat McGrath completes the top three, with Dragons' Den star Bartlett, 33, in seventh and actor Elba, 53, in ninth.
