A chartered accountant and corporate treasurer, McCarthy was previously finance director of Bank of Ireland UK. He spent 16 years in various roles with Bank of Ireland and Bristol & West, having begun his career as an auditor with Touche Ross.

Britannia chairman Rodney Baker-Bates said, "Dave McCarthy has shown innovative strategic thinking and strong leadership during the recent credit crunch. He shares the organisation's values and will be a strong addition to the executive team."
