Dudley Building Society has announced the appointment of Simon Dodd as its new head of retail.

Dodd joined in April from Coventry Building Society, where he held the position of head of B2B marketing.

His appointment marks the latest in a series of new appointments the society has made since the start of the year.

Dodd commented: “I’m really pleased to be joining Dudley Building Society at an exciting time in the Society’s history. With an ambitious plan for growth over the next five years, it is refreshing to see an organisation putting their branch network at the heart of this.

“As head of retail, my team and I will be responsible for shaping that future, ensuring we continue to deliver the excellent service our members have come to expect from us while also developing our proposition to meet their needs now and in the future. Having lived in the area for 20 years, it’s also very rewarding to be at an organisation that places the success of the local community at its heart.”

Dudley Building Society was established in 1858 and offers a range of specialist mortgages, savings, and financial services products.
