Message to Members from your President – Andy Stankard

Friday 16th Aug, 2024

I will be standing down as your President after the Annual General Meeting in December this year, after an extended term of office due to the Covid Pandemic and the transition from our founder Chief Executive a year ago.

I was asked by the Board to serve a further two-year term in 2022 to provide stability, and I agreed to do so as well as work to ensure my own successful succession. During this challenging period your Board, the senior leadership team and I have worked together very well and achieved all the objectives that needed to be met.

Also, earlier this year, your Board selected Joseph Hendon as the new President-Elect, and he will take over as your President after the upcoming AGM in December.

Joe, currently serving as a Product Owner at EMIS Group plc, has been a dedicated member of the Board of Directors since December 2021. His extensive experience in finance, governance, and auditing, along with his commitment to HEY Credit Union’s objectives and social goals, makes him an ideal successor.

Throughout his professional career, Joe has held several impressive roles, including Product Management at Ideal Heating and Supplier Quality Officer at Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories. His expertise in managing data products and services at EMIS Group has significantly contributed to optimising local and national healthcare delivery.

Beyond his professional achievements, Joe is a multi-instrumentalist and a co-author, showcasing his diverse talents and dedication. His interests in philosophy, politics, and their impacts on businesses highlight his analytical skills, making him a well-rounded leader.

I am very confident that Joe will guide our credit union with confidence and dedication, and I will see out the remaining months of my final term of office working alongside him.

Please join me and the whole Board in welcoming Joseph Hendon as the new President-Elect. The Board and I are confident that under his leadership, our organisation will continue to thrive and reach new heights.

Andy Stankard
