Family Building Society appoints Laura Hamp as CFO and board member
Family Building Society has appointed Laura Hamp as chief financial officer and a member of its board of directors. Hamp joined the society earlier this year from Furness Building Society, where she also served as chief financial officer.
Experience in the mutual sector
Hamp has more than 15 years' experience in financial services and a strong track record within the mutual sector. She is a qualified chartered accountant and a Fellow of ICAS, and was named CFO of the Year at the Women in Finance Awards 2023.
What the appointment means
For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, leadership changes at lender-level building societies can be worth monitoring, as CFO appointments sit at the heart of how lenders manage savings, lending and financial governance. Family Building Society is an active player in the UK mortgage market, and continuity in its finance leadership may be of interest to intermediaries and property professionals who work with its products.
Hamp said: "I'm very pleased to have joined the Family and to continue my career in the mutual sector, which upholds the very best ethical standards in lending and savings, as well as reflecting the ethos that members of ICAS hold true."
She added: "I am delighted to have been promoted to the board of the society."
