He brings over four decades of experience in the banking and insurance sectors
Family Building Society has announced the appointment of Simon Wainwright (pictured) as its new chairman, elected at the society’s annual general meeting.
Wainwright, who joined the board as a non-executive director in 2015, brings over four decades of experience in the banking and insurance sectors, spanning both mutual and publicly traded companies.
“Simon has made a significant contribution to the development of the society, which has grown considerably since he joined the board,” said Mark Bogard, chief executive of Family Building Society.
“We now have over 63,000 members and £2.5 billion of assets. We are pleased that Simon has been elected as our new chairman, and we thank Rodger Hughes who he succeeds, who steps down after 11 successful years.”
Wainwright commented: “The society has built a successful reputation of lending to borrowers who are underserved by the big players in the mortgage market and also of supporting intermediaries in their vital contribution to these and other overlooked borrowers.”
