Earl Shilton Building Society (esbs) is delighted to announce the appointment of Scott Devereux as its new Chief Executive Officer.
With a 24-year career in financial services, Scott brings a wealth of experience to the role. He has held key positions at several prominent companies in the sector, including Alliance Leicester and Nottingham Building Society, where he acquired expertise in strategy, technology, operations and change management.
Starting out his career at Alliance & Leicester, Scott quickly discovered his affinity for numbers, data, and analysis. He leveraged these skills to develop automated management information systems that streamlined the delivery of crucial insights, enabling the organisation to make strategic data-driven decisions. As he advanced in his career, Scott took on more senior roles, focusing on enhancing operational efficiency and performance reporting, ultimately contributing to significant improvements in sales and service delivery across the branch network.
Scott then spent 16 years at Nottingham Building Society, where he held several executive roles, including Strategic Transformation, Change Management and Customer Experience. He led significant business and regulatory change initiatives, improved customer service delivery, including consumer duty, and developed successful digital mortgage and savings propositions, helping to build both core technologies and branding.
Speaking about his new role, Scott said: “It’s a privilege to join Earl Shilton Building Society at such a pivotal time. As a Leicestershire local, I’ve long admired esbs and its commitment to serving the community and optimising value for its members. I look forward to working with the team to deliver sustainable growth while ensuring we continue to provide the best value and service to our members.”
Alex Robinson, Chair of esbs, welcomed the appointment, stating: “We are thrilled to have Scott on board. His extensive experience in leadership and innovation will be invaluable as we navigate the evolving financial landscape. Scott’s vision aligns perfectly with our goal of enhancing our offerings and optimising value for our communities and members.”
Outside of work, Scott enjoys spending time with his wife, two daughters and granddaughter, reading across a wide range of topics, and pursuing personal development. He is also an avid runner and has averaged 8km each day for the past nine years.
Scott’s appointment to the role of CEO follows the retirement of Paul Tilley, who served as the company’s CEO for 13 years.
