Vernon Building Society has announced the appointment of Steve Fletcher as its new Chief Executive.
Fletcher succeeds Mike Hanson, who has retired. Fletcher joins from Clydesdale and Yorkshire Bank, where he was head of customer banking networks.

Fletcher says: “I am delighted to be joining the society at such an important and exciting time in its history. The mutual status of the Vernon – and the bespoke personal mortgage service that it provides – holds real appeal for me.”

Hanson says: “I’m delighted to pass the baton to my successor and wish him and the entire Vernon team every success as they continue to develop and realise our strategic vision, whilst maximising our member benefits.”
