IMLA: ‘Confident new committee will build on exceptional work’
Kate Davies, executive director of IMLA, said: “It is a great pleasure to welcome those who are new to the Management Committee, and to congratulate those who have been re-elected for 2023.
“We also owe a special vote of thanks to Kevin Purvey, who is standing down from the management committee after 10 consecutive years, two of which as chair.”
She added: “We are enormously grateful to Kevin for his immense contribution to IMLA and delighted that he will remain on our Executive Committee as representative for Coventry Building Society.
“I am confident that the new committee, chaired by Jeremy, will be able to build on the exceptional work undertaken during 2022 to grow our representation within the sector and deliver further benefits to all our members.”
