A qualified chartered accountant, Titcomb has an extensive record in financial services, including roles as COO at the Financial Conduct Authority and chief executive of The Pensions Regulator.
“I am delighted and honoured to be appointed as chair of the Market Harborough Building Society, subject, of course, to regulatory approval,” said Titcomb. “I’m excited to be joining the Society at this time and look forward to working with Iain Kirkpatrick and the team to deliver its strategy and the Thrive!
