Leek United appoints new Chair

First co-opted onto Leek United’s Board as a Non-Executive Director in November 2014, Rachel Court has served as a member of the Risk Committee and Chair of the Remuneration Committee.

Her previous experience includes almost 23 years’ at Yorkshire Building Society, where she was a Senior Executive responsible for customer service and HR.

Rachel succeeds Peter Kerns, who announced his retirement at the Society’s recent 2016 Annual General Meeting.

Rachel said: “Leek United has a very strong role and reputation within the communities it serves, and I’ve very much enjoyed getting involved and contributing to the work of the Society. I see my new role as taking Leek United forward from strength to strength during what will undoubtedly continue to be challenging times for the financial services sector.”
