The Tipton and Coseley Building Society has appointed a new non-executive director (NED) to its board.
Myron Hrycyk (pictured) has an MBA from Birmingham University, is a chartered member of the British Computer Society and has sat on the Midlands CBI Council. During his career he has been group chief information officer (CIO) and digital director at Severn Trent plc and IT director at Unipart Advanced Logistics.
He is also a Cabinet Office Crown Representative and works with the UK government’s strategic digital technology suppliers.
As a member of the board, Hrycyk will help to direct the business, develop and monitor strategy, review the performance of the management team and oversee compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements and will play an instrumental part in the ongoing development of the Tipton, a Society with assets approaching £400 million.
Hrycyk said: “I am a strong believer in mutuality and the role that building societies play in our lives. I am delighted to be joining the Tipton and Coseley board. I believe my business experience, particularly in the area of technology and digital will help us deliver modern services and products to our customers that will take our Society well into the 21st century.”
Richard Newton, the Tipton’s chief executive, added: “We are delighted to have recruited someone of Myron’s calibre and I know that with his vast commercial experience he’ll greatly contribute to our board decisions.”
