Meet your President

Neil Magill

Neil is the union's first president to come from Northern Ireland, and works for LBG's Fraud & Disputes department in Customer Contact. He's been a member of Accord since he joined the bank in 2002, and has held a number of positions within the union's structure during that time. Neil was elected as Accord president in March 2020 and was re-elected for another term of office earlier this year. Neil will now serve as president until Accord's biennial conference in 2024.  Email: [email protected]

“I’ve always been interested in helping people and wanting them to be treated fairly so decided to stand for election to become a rep in 2009."

About the Principal Executive Council (PEC)

The Principal Executive Council is elected by the membership every two years, in the January before the union’s biennial conference. It is led by the president and two vice presidents. All PEC members are employed by businesses the union negotiates with and are directly elected by Accord members.

The PEC oversees negotiations between Accord and its principal employers. It’s also the union’s governing body

You don't need to be a union rep to be elected to the PEC, but you may find it useful to help you understand the union better.
