Wolverhampton City Credit Union Appoint New CEO

Friday 26 January 2024

Wolverhampton City Credit Union (WCCU) is delighted to announce Tameka Spencer as its new CEO.

Tameka has worked at WCCU for over nine years and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from within the sector.

Previously holding the roles of Operations Manager and Deputy CEO, Tameka has been part of the WCCU succession planning since 2021.

“I am passionate about the organisation and look forward to working with my Board, developing new Payroll Partnerships and continuing to grow our membership,” says Tameka. “I joined as a member before I started working at the Credit Union.”

Highlighted at this month’s AGM, WCCU continue to make progress despite the huge economic challenges, and were pleased to report another surplus this financial year, as well as seeing lending and membership grow.

WCCU were also successful at this year’s Black Country Chamber Business in the Community Awards, winning the Award for Excellence in Diversity & Equality, predominantly due to the progress that it has made in becoming the first Credit Union in the country to be awarded the RACE Equality Code Mark.

Tameka added: “I am proud to be leading Wolverhampton City Credit Union at this exciting time, taking over the reins from Rob Shearing as Chief Executive Officer, who has transformed the Credit Union over the last four years. I will continue to build on what he has done.”
