Principality Building Society has announced the appointment of Maria Timon Samra to its Board as a Non-Executive Director.
It said that with more than 30 years’ experience across the private, public, and third sectors, Maria was a highly experienced executive and trusted board advisor, having held senior roles in organisations such as Andersen, KPMG, Barclays and Tŷ Hafan.
