The Money Advice Liaison Group (MALG) has appointed Peg Alexander as its next CEO. She will take up the position in March 2026, succeeding long‑standing CEO Bob Winnington, who retires at the end of that month after a decade leading the organisation.
Peg brings more than 30 years’ experience across broadcasting, communications, public service, and the voluntary sector. Her career has focused on social justice, poverty, and community engagement, alongside a prominent profile as a television and radio presenter and event host.
Announcing the appointment, MALG Chair Fiona Hoyle said:
“Peg brings a rare combination of strategic insight, communications expertise, and a deep commitment to improving outcomes for people in vulnerable circumstances. The Board was impressed by her vision for MALG’s future and her ability to bring diverse voices together. We are delighted to welcome her as the new CEO.”
Accepting the offer of the MALG CEO role, Peg Alexander commented:
“MALG plays a unique and vital role in fostering collaboration across the debt ecosystem, and I am excited to build on the strong foundations laid under Bob’s leadership. My focus will be on strengthening partnerships, amplifying MALG’s independent voice, and ensuring that people in debt remain at the heart of every conversation. I look forward to working with members, stakeholders, and the wider community to shape the future together.”
Current MALG CEO Bob Winnington commented:
“It has been a privilege to serve MALG and to work with so many dedicated professionals across the debt and money advice landscape. I am proud of what we have achieved together and confident that Peg will bring fresh energy and leadership to guide the organisation into its next chapter.”
