Market Harborough Building Society (MHBS) has announced the appointment of Lesley Titcomb (pictured) as its new chair, subject to regulatory approval.
Titcomb, who will assume the post on October 1, is a qualified chartered accountant, with an extensive track record in financial services in executive and non-executive roles, including as chief operating officer at the Financial Conduct Authority and chief executive at The Pensions Regulator.
“I am delighted and honoured to be appointed as chair of the Market Harborough Building Society,” Titcomb commented on her appointment. “I’m excited to be joining the society at this time and look forward to working with Iain Kirkpatrick and the team to deliver its strategy and the Thrive! Agenda.”
Titcomb will replace Michael Thomas, who had undertaken the role of non-executive director, senior independent director, and chair during his 10 years at the mutual.
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time at MHBS and am proud to have been involved in its growing success over the last decade,” Thomas said.
Kirkpatrick, MHBS chief executive, thanked the outgoing chair and welcomed Titcomb to the building society.
“I’d like to thank Michael for his support and passion for the society and the mutual movement, and also for his guidance as I joined the society last year,” he said. “I’m really pleased to welcome Lesley to MHBS at this exciting time as we expand and deliver our Thrive! Agenda.”
