Jeffries takes on Loughborough role
The Loughborough Building Society has appointed Stephen Jeffries as head of finance.
He joins from housebuilder Barratt Developments where he worked in senior group finance roles at its Leicestershire head office.
Jeffries has also previously worked for the "big four" accountancy firms in the East Midlands, latterly as a senior manager in the assurance practice of PwC.
He said: "I chose The Loughborough because, living in the town and as a member of the Society, I fully understand its appeal. It is well known locally and has been carefully managed through a difficult period for the sector.
"I will help provide a further level of challenge within finance, whilst bringing new ideas to the management team from my experience in house-building and from advising a range of Midlands companies for over a decade across various industry sectors."
Chief executive Gary Brebner said: "I’m delighted to welcome Stephen to the management team of a business which has nearly 150 years of experience."
