Matthew Peter Dominic Bullock (born 9 September 1949) is a retired banking professional and former chief executive officer. Between 2014 and 2019, he held the position of Master at St Edmund's College, Cambridge.
He is the son of historian Alan Bullock and received his education at Magdalen College School, Oxford followed by Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he obtained a degree in History in 1970. Bullock served as Chief Executive of Norwich and Peterborough Building Society from 1999 until 2011. During his leadership, the organisation was fined £1.4 million by the Financial Services Authority in 2011 due to the mis-selling of high-risk investment products to approximately 3,200 clients, which led to compensation payouts totaling £51 million and an official apology.
While acting as Master of St Edmund's College, Bullock managed significant developments, including the Mount Pleasant Halls project. His period in office also saw the termination of honorary research fellow Noah Carl following contentious academic affiliations; Carl later pursued an unfair dismissal claim through an employment tribunal.
