Darren commented: “I am delighted to have joined the Executive Director team at Newbury Building Society. Newbury is well known for its customer service excellence and commitment to its members and the local community – values I believe demonstrate the strength of the Society’s mutual ethos – as it continues to assist people save money and buy their homes. I look forward to contributing to the further success and growth of the Society whilst learning what it really means to be a Newbury member.”
In his new role, as well as being a Director of the Society, Darren is specifically in charge of the Society’s finance and treasury activities, where he will be responsible for ensuring the integrity of financial and regulatory reporting, and managing liquidity, funding and capital positions.

At a time of historic low interest rates and tightening margins, it is reassuring to have someone of Darren’s calibre to steer us through the challenges that lie ahead.”
