Currently, Hartop serves as chair of Leuchie House, a national respite charity, and vice president of Edinburgh Academical Rugby Club.

Welcoming Hartop, Ian Wilson, chair of Scottish Building Society, praised his financial services experience and commitment to the mutual ethos of the society. Hartop's appointment is expected to strengthen the board's ability to support the society's plans for growth, sustainability, and continued delivery of value for members.
