Jeremy Wood Joins Hanley Economic Building Society Board

Hanley Economic Building Society has appointed Jeremy Wood as a non-executive director. Wood has previously held senior positions at NatWest and Nationwide Building Society, and served as interim chief executive of One Savings Bank before becoming chief executive of Dudley Building Society in 2012.

Following his retirement from executive leadership, Wood has continued to be active in the financial sector. He is currently chair of the Building Societies Association Pension Scheme, chair of My Community Bank, and a trustee of a special educational needs school in Birmingham.

Hanley Economic Building Society’s chief executive, Mark Selby, commented on Wood’s career and alignment with the society’s values. Wood also shared his anticipation of joining the board and working with colleagues to strengthen the society’s position within the mutual sector.

For letting agents and inventory clerks, leadership changes at building societies can signal ongoing commitment to supporting borrowers and communities, which may influence lending practices and property market activity.
