Market Harborough names new CEO




Market Harborough Building Society (MHBS) has announced it will be welcoming new CEO Iain Kirkpatrick to the business next month.

Iain, who is currently chief customer officer at Nottingham Building Society, was previously retail managing director at Metro Bank, and director of private banking at Lloyds Private Bank. 

Iain will start his role in September, ahead of the retirement of long-standing CEO Mark Robinson in October. 

Iain said: “I am delighted to join Market Harborough as a building society with a clear focus on its members and the community. 

“I believe that mutuality has never been more important than it is now, and I look forward to working with the team to build on the strengths of the last 152 years.” 

“I’m very pleased to welcome Iain and wish him all the best as CEO,” commented MHBS chair Michael Thomas.

“MHBS has an excellent record under Mark’s leadership, which presents a great basis for the future of our 152-year story.” 

He thanked Mark for the outstanding contribution he has made over the past 15 years.

Mark added: “I will look back on my time at MHBS with great affection; we have achieved a huge amount and assembled an outstanding team — I wish Iain every success.”
MHBS — which has 2,900 mortgage members — has assets of over £540m and serves customers across the country with an online service and branches in Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. 

Earlier this year, the building society strengthened its bridging team with a new underwriter after introducing a new bridging offering for HNW clients
