Market Harborough Building Society (MHBS) has appointed Wendy Fry as chief risk officer.
Joining the Society in June, Wendy brings a wealth of experience in risk, compliance and governance, most recently serving as chief risk officer at Heylo Housing, one of the UK’s largest shared ownership providers.
She has held senior risk roles across both the social housing, banking and building society sectors, including at ING, TSB, Family Building Society and within wider financial services. Her career has been built on creating robust, practical risk frameworks that support growth and long-term sustainability.
Her appointment comes at a key point in the Society’s journey, as it continues to grow its lending and membership while strengthening its approach to governance and operational resilience.
Iain Kirkpatrick, Market Harborough’s chief executive, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Wendy to the team. She joins us at a really important time, with exciting growth plans ahead. Her experience across both housing and financial services gives her a unique perspective, and her leadership will be critical as we continue to scale with purpose, care and confidence.”
Wendy Fry added: “I’m excited to be joining a Society with such a strong sense of purpose, ambitious plans and great people. There’s a real energy about the organisation, and I’m looking forward to working alongside colleagues to support its continued success.”
