Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) has announced that it has appointed Alasdair Lenman as Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Robert Purdy as Interim Chief Finance Officer.

YBS chairman John Heaps said “Alasdair Lenman has 23 years of experience in finance and has worked in financial services for 15 years, most recently as our chief finance officer.”

“He has played a leading role in the development of our existing strategy, which has yielded some of our strongest financial results in our history. The process to appoint the next permanent Chief Executive Officer is well advanced and will conclude as planned later this year.”
