Market Harborough Building Society (MHBS) has announced that its new CEO will be Iain Kirkpatrick.
He is currently chief customer officer at Nottingham Building Society.
He has previously held the role of retail managing director at Metro Bank and director of private banking at Lloyds Private Bank.
He will start his role in September, ahead of the retirement of long-standing CEO Mark Robinson in October.
Michael Thomas, MHBS chair, said: “I’m very pleased to welcome Iain and wish him all the best as CEO. MHBS has an excellent record under Mark Robinson’s leadership which presents a great basis for the future of our 152 year story.
“I hope Mark enjoys the next stage in his career and thank him for the outstanding contribution he has made over the last 15 years.”
Kirkpatrick said: “I am delighted to join Market Harborough as a building society with a clear focus on its members and the community. I believe that mutuality has never been more important than it is now and I look forward to working with the team to build on the strengths of the last 152 years.”
Robinson added: “I will look back on my time at MHBS with great affection – we have achieved a huge amount and assembled an outstanding team. I wish Iain every success.”
