The Leeds Building Society has strengthened its change delivery team with the confirmation of a new head of change delivery.

Martin Rhodes (pictured) has been appointed permanently to this position, following a successful interim period in the role.

He joined the Society from Aon Insurance Brokers, where he was national operations director overseeing 16 sites across England and Scotland.

“I am delighted to welcome Martin permanently to Leeds Building Society’s change delivery team,” said Tom Clark, Leeds Building Society’s chief information officer.

“He will be involved in managing the Society’s change portfolio to achieve our combined objectives, driving the business architecture and analysis and programme management functions.

“This internal appointment also demonstrates the strength and quality of our people.”

Rhodes said: “A key objective of my new role is to understand the direction of travel for the Society, and be part of the transformational changes that will take the business forward.

“I will bring a simple, common sense approach to what is required to deliver the desired change.”
