Before joining Cambridge & Counties Bank, Tina was Director of Member Services at the Nottingham Building Society, a position she had held since October 2018. This covered the group’s operations in relation to all customer sales and service operations as well as leading a strong first-line risk and compliance function.

Taking over from Scott McMunn in the Autumn, Tina will have full responsibility for the leadership and day-to-day management of all departments across Operations, IT and Change Management; maintaining the bank’s focus on its customer-centric culture through risk-aware, compliant operations.

The COO role is a new position at the bank, having been first set up in March this year and managed on an interim basis by Scott since then.

Cambridge & Counties Bank has developed what it sees as one of the leading relationship-based business models in the UK. For 2019, 99% of new customers, both borrowing and depositing, said the bank dealt with their enquiry and application effectively, with the same score (99%) given for their willingness to recommend it.
