Leek United has appointed Daniel Nutt as the new branch manager for its Market Drayton branch.

This is the first senior position for Nutt (pictured) since completing the society’s management development programme earlier this year.

He began his career with Leek United in November 2014, following several years in the retail industry, and worked initially as a customer assistant at Cheadle in the Staffordshire Moorlands, progressing to become deputy branch manager.

For the last two and a half years, Nutt has been based in the savings department at the society’s Leek head office. 

He said: “In many ways, Market Drayton is very similar to Cheadle – a busy market town with lots of hustle and bustle – and I already feel right at home there.

“We have a great, loyal customer base – many of whom we’re on first-name terms with – who place a huge value on the friendly, personal face-to-face service Leek United offers.

“As a team we also take great pride in contributing to the local community, and I’m very much looking forward to working in the town and playing my own part in continuing that tradition.”
