Nationwide Building Society announced that Earlier in the year David Roberts, Nationwide's Chair since 2015, requested that the Society's Board start the process to select a new Chair ensuring an orderly succession and the continuity of Board leadership as the country emerges from the pandemic. After a full and independent selection process, the Board announced that Kevin Parry, the Society's current Senior Independent Director, has been appointed Deputy Chair and Chair Elect. The Board's expectation is for Kevin to assume the role of Chair by March 2022 and, as Chair Elect, he will lead the process to appoint the Chief Executive's successor. Kevin joined Nationwide as a non-Executive Director in 2016 and has been the Senior Independent Director on the Board since January 2020. Kevin is currently Chair of Royal London Mutual Insurance Society and a non-Executive Director at Daily Mail and General Trust plc.
