Yorkshire Building Society is announcing that, after nine years at the mutual,

Annemarie is currently Chair at Cater Allen Private Bank and a non-executive

With over 30 years' experience in retail, commercial, corporate and

continue to build on our strong heritage with the future in mind. I, and the
rest of the Board are very much looking forward to working with her."

Commenting on her appointment, Annemarie said: "It's a privilege to join the
Board of such an established and purposeful organisation. As the organisation
continues to grow, the mutual values Yorkshire Building Society holds so dear
will remain central as we evolve in the best interests of our members."

John Heaps said: "I am delighted that Annemarie has agreed to join the Society
and I look forward to welcoming her to the Board. Annemarie joins a resilient
