Suffolk Building Society appoints Des Moore as non-executive director

Des Moore, incoming non-executive director at Suffolk Building Society, said: “I’m looking forward to taking on this new role immensely. Alongside its commitment to branch-based savings services, as demonstrated by the opening of its Felixstowe branch in 2025, Suffolk Building Society has earned a strong reputation within the mortgage market. I hope to help the Society build on its recent growth and continue its success in the years ahead.”

Steve Liddell, non-executive director at Suffolk Building Society, will leave the society on 30th September 2026, having completed his 9-year term. He joined the society’s board in 2017.

Peter Elcock, chair at Suffolk Building Society, said: “I am delighted to welcome Des to Suffolk Building Society. He brings a unique blend of extensive previous leadership experience and driving organisational change in a large building society whilst also possessing a wealth of knowledge across retail and commercial banking. As we continue to evolve to meet the needs of our members in an increasingly digital world, Des’ experience and expertise will be a significant asset. Just as importantly, Des shares our belief in the mutual model, its values, and the security and stability it provides to members.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Steve Liddell for his terrific contribution to Suffolk Building Society over the past nine years, as a member of the Board and chair of the Society’s audit committee. Steve has provided guidance and wisdom during his time with us and, being local, has made a valuable contribution in relation to his first-hand knowledge of Suffolk. I look forward to Steve’s ongoing support over the next few months.”
