“His achievements are recognised throughout the building society sector. He has a strong track record in corporate governance and risk, plus broad knowledge of working with the regulators. We are very pleased to welcome him to the board.”
Franklin, who lives in the Rugby area, added: “I am very pleased to join a mutual with the pedigree of Hinckley & Rugby, where there is so much focus on its members. I look forward to contributing to its ongoing success.”
