Graeme Yorston

I joined Principality Building Society as Chief Operating Officer in July 2006 and was appointed to the main Board in October 2007. I became Group Chief Executive in October 2012. I am also Chairman of Peter Alan, Nemo Personal Finance and Loan Link and Chairman of the Group Executive Management Committee and a member of the Group Risk Committee, Group Customer and Conduct Committee, the Asset and Liability and Commercial Liability and the Property Committee.

During my 40 years in financial services I have worked for Abbey National where I carried out a number of senior roles including Regional Director for Branches, Director of Sales for the Call Centres and Chief Information Officer for the Retail Bank. I have led a number of significant strategic change programmes including one of the largest Customer Relationship Management implementations in Europe. I hold a Masters degree in Business Administration and I am a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers. I also sit on the Executive Council of the Council of Mortgage Lenders and the Council for the Confederation of British Industry in Wales.

Born in Scotland in 1957, I now live in the Vale of Glamorgan with my wife. I have three grown up children.

Principality Building Society is the UK’s sixth largest building society.
