Hanley Economic Building Society has announced the appointment of Martyn Hoccom as a non-executive director. With over 30 years of banking experience under his belt, Hoccom becomes the newest member of the board and will assume a role on the Society’s Risk Committee.
Hoccom has an impressive career history in treasury and risk management areas, working with major banks. Most recently, he served as the group treasurer of First Abu Dhabi Bank and has previously held senior roles at RBS and Lloyds Bank. Hailing from the Midlands and a graduate in economics from the University of Birmingham, Hoccom’s experience brings a wealth of knowledge to his new position.
