Dave Prentis, the president of Unity Trust Bank, which specialises in the provision of banking services to the trade union, charity, voluntary and not-for-profit sectors, has been elected as President of the TUC.
Prentis, General Secretary of Unison, was appointed as the President of Unity Trust Bank in 2003 following the retirement of John Edmonds, General Secretary of the GMB.
Prentis was born and brought up in Leeds and went to the University of London where he studied history. He has a Masters degree in industrial relations from the University of Warwick.
Kevin Turmore, Managing Director of Unity, congratulated him on his election, and said: “It is not surprising that Dave, who is so passionate about the rights of the individual, has pledged to put the plight of vulnerable workers at the top of his agenda.”
