He brings a wealth of experience to the role
Tipton & Coseley Building Society has announced that Jeremy Cross (pictured) has joined its board to succeed Andrew Higgins as chairman.
Cross has significant experience of working in financial services, having previously served as chair of Mansfield Building Society, and having held senior positions at Lloyds Banking Group.
He is a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and holds other non-executive posts, including at an NHS Foundation Trust and a children’s hospice.
Saying he is delighted to join Tipton as chairman, Cross also expressed gratitude to Higgins for his commitment to the society over the last 10 years.
“During his tenure as chair, the society has grown by over 30%, and it was the first building society to launch a mobile app that allows customers to open, view and manage savings accounts on the go,” he said.
“I am very much looking forward to helping the Society to continue to grow and prosper while maintaining its support and engagement with our local community which remains vitally important to us,” Cross added.
“This is an exciting time to be joining the society, and he brings a wealth of experience to the role,” Richard Newton, chief executive at Tipton, commented on the appointment of Cross.
