OneFamily has appointed Alison Davies to its board as a non-executive director.
With a financial services career spanning more than 30 years in both the retail and mutual sectors, Davies has extensive knowledge of financial technology and digital and corporate strategy.
More recently, Davies was head of digital at Skipton Building Society, where she was influential in steering its digital strategy and developing the online customer experience.
Prior to this, she held executive positions at first direct and HSBC.
As well as being a member of the Board of Governors and chair of the People Committee at York St John University, Davies is also a strategic advisor for a fintech start-up business.
She has been an active ambassador for a range of charities helping to improve the lives of children and young people.
Davies joins the team at a key period of growth for the organisation, whilst it also undertakes an ambitious modernisation programme.
In addition to its Brighton and Swindon-based offices, OneFamily has recently acquired the insurance company Beagle Street, based in Peterborough, as well as setting up a new Leeds office earlier this month.
Teddy Nyahasha, OneFamily CEO, said: “On behalf of everyone at OneFamily, I’d like to warmly welcome Alison to the team. As well as her commitment to improving the lives of others, Alison brings with her years of experience from across the financial sector with specific emphasis on digital strategy.
“It’s an exciting time of growth for OneFamily, whilst we continue to embrace our mutual roots with a vision that has social inclusion at its heart.”
Davies added: “I’m very pleased to be a part of the OneFamily team. As an organisation with such a strong social purpose and a great track record of supporting its customers, I’m looking forward to being part of what it aims to achieve over the coming months.
“This is a pivotal moment to be joining the team and I can’t wait to get involved.”
