New Chairman and Director at The Mansfield
04 June 2015
The Mansfield Building Society has announced the appointment of Jeremy Cross as Chairman. The Society has also appointed Colin Bradley as a Non-Executive Director following the retirement of outgoing Chairman, Nigel Tamplin, after nine years of service to the Society.
Jeremy Cross was originally appointed as a Non-Executive Director in February 2013 and is a chartered accountant by profession. His previous experience includes Director of Personal Current Accounts with Halifax and Bank of Scotland. He has also held senior positions with Asda and Boots.
Colin Bradley started his career at Deloitte in Nottingham before eventually going on to spend 26 years at the Loughborough Building Society, where he progressed to the position of Deputy Chief Executive and Finance Director.
Chief Executive of The Mansfield, Gev Lynott said, “We are delighted that Jeremy has accepted the task of leading the Society’s Board. He has the right combination of experience and drive to ensure we remain focussed on delivering our corporate plan.”
“Jeremy inherits his role at a Society that has already set itself on a very positive path thanks to the existing work of the Board, the Society’s employees, and in no small measure to our retiring Chairman, Nigel Tamplin.”
“I’m also very pleased to be welcoming Colin Bradley to the Society. He will be bringing a wealth of expertise including finance, treasury, audit and risk to the Board. I’m confident that these changes in personnel will bring continued future success to The Mansfield.”
Jeremy Cross commented, “It’s an exciting time for The Mansfield. The Society is expanding its mortgage broker business, responding to the changing regulatory environment, and delivering value to customers, members and the local community that it serves.
I’m looking forward to helping the Society grow through a combination of quality products and customer service, whilst ensuring that we remain an independent safe haven for our members.”
