Leek Building Society CEO Andrew Healy (picture above, left) will be stepping down from his position in July to pursue the next phase of his career as a NED.
The board has appointed Andy Deeks (right) as his successor, who will join the building society on 1st August, subject to regulatory approvals.
Andy brings years of experience as an executive director in the building society sector, having previously worked at Coventry Building Society.
“It’s a real privilege to be appointed as CEO at Leek Building Society,” said Andy.
“I’ve been hugely impressed with the Society so far, and I look forward to working with the team at Leek to further develop this modern, progressive mutual organisation to be an even better place for savers, borrowers, colleagues and communities."
Andrew added: “It has been an honour to work with such a wonderful team and I’m tremendously proud that together we have not only fortified the Society’s financial strength but, even more importantly, we have delivered on our purpose to enhance the lives of our members, employees, and communities.
“My sincere thanks to everyone for making my time here so enjoyable and memorable.”
Rachel Court, chair of the board, commented: “Andrew has been a superb leader of the Society for the past six years and leaves an incredibly strong platform with a wonderful team of people and transformed systems, premises, and culture.
“We are incredibly grateful to Andrew for everything he has achieved and wish him well with everything he does in the future.
“I’m delighted to welcome Andy to the Society and look forward to working together with him and the whole team to harness the tremendous foundations which the Society now has as we move forward into the next exciting phase of our development.”
