"We are confident Colin has the vision, skills and experience to build on the very successful tenure of Chris White who has led the Society for more than a decade"

Colin, currently chief executive at Darlington Building Society, will succeed Chris White who is retiring in early 2019 after 30 years at Hinckley & Rugby.

Colin has been chief executive at Darlington Building Society for four years and has also worked at Clydesdale Bank, National Australia Bank and Yorkshire Bank.

He will be only the ninth chief executive in the Hinckley & Rugby’s 153 years.

Hinckley & Rugby chairman, Colin Franklin, said: “After a very detailed selection process, the board was united that Colin Fyfe would make an ideal new chief executive.

“We are confident Colin has the vision, skills and experience to build on the very successful tenure of Chris White who has led the Society for more than a decade, including through the challenging period of the credit crunch and its aftermath.”

Colin added: “I am delighted to have been selected by Hinckley & Rugby Building Society’s board to lead the business into its next phase.

“The foundations created by Chris White and the team are strong and it will be an honour to serve the members and support the local communities.”

Chris White commented: “It has been an honour and a privilege to have had the opportunity to serve the Society as chief executive. I am delighted that the board has appointed Colin as my successor.

“I am confident that he shares the board’s vision of what makes a great building society and will continue to ensure that the Society’s members remain at the heart of its business strategy.”
