  • Bradford & Bingley Transformation & Decline
    Bradford & Bingley Transformation & Decline: 1995 – 2010 Matthias Hambach PhD University of York The York Management School October 2014 Abstract The recent financial and economic crisis, which affected many financial institutions in the UK, created the need to investigate and understand how the crisis affected these institutions. Consequently, numerous official reports and academic studies have been written, particularly on Northern Rock, examining the financial impact on, and business strategies of, these institutions. However, comparatively, there has been little empirical investigation into the board processes that contributed to the decisions made by the management of these affected institutions leading up to the crisis. Of particular interest to research are the demutualised building societies. They were unlike the large universal banks, who engaged heavily in investment banking and were trading on their own account; yet their organisational outcomes, in particular receipt of government support, were similar. This study focuses on the case of the former Bradford & Bingley Building Society (B&B), the last building society to demutualise, and investigates its transformation and decline over the period 1995 – 2010. The investigation adopts a novel approach by combining the Corporate Governance Life-Cycle with the Upper Echelons Perspective to examine structural and behavioural changes of the board and its governance functions, during the transition of Bradford & Bingley, from building society to bank and nationalised institution. Using a variety of sources, including interviews with directors, official documents, financial records, and newspaper articles, the transformation of B&B is examined through a historical lens. The thesis argues that life-cycle stages should not be seen as periods with well defined boundaries, but rather overlapping periods of varying length, where each period has distinct characteristics that distinguish it from another.

    Creditor Contacts January 2021 Confidential edition for IMA members, AdviceUK advisers and others in the free-to-client advice sector. These contacts are to help advisers to communicate with creditors on behalf of their clients about debt issues. Creditors are usually pleased to work with advisers as they know that an adviser will have worked with their client to explore all the options, and will have taken into account the client’s full situation. This creditors contact list contains direct telephone numbers, addresses and in some cases contact names for advisers to use when contacting creditors about their client’s debt problems. The contact details provided by creditors are not identical. For example, some creditors have specialist staff to deal with enquiries from third parties but others do not. You will need to find the creditor on the list and then see what services are provided. Not all creditors participate in the contact list and work is ongoing to develop this information. Please note that the "escalation points" should be used with care – they are to help deal with situations that cannot be resolved through normal channels, and if they are misused they will be withdrawn. This edition is for Citizens Advice partner agencies. There is an alternative edition for Citizens Advice advisers. Creditors often change their details - if you spot any gaps, amendments, deletions, corrections or want to feedback please contact: [email protected] Thank you. 1 Confidential - Creditor Contacts for IMA members, AdviceUK advisers and other free-to-client debt advisers.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by C Lee [BSB 120]
    Written evidence submitted by C Lee [BSB 120] My wife and I have used our entire life savings on our 100% privately owned flat that we bought brand new from the Builders (Fairview Homes) 9 years ago. The flat has 2 bedrooms and we have two children: age 14 and 5. Our 5 years old has been sleeping on the floor since birth because there is no space for another bed, so we seriously need to move home into a bigger home but we can’t because both valuers and lenders have applied a blanket approach to the EWS1 Form. We want more children but we can’t until we can move home. The building is below 18 metres (3 storeys), brick built with balcony. There is a small area of concrete wall near the roof. We are on the ground floor. Birmingham Midshires (BM) have refused to lend to us on the basis that their valuer has asked for the EWS1 Form which we cannot provide. I have spoken to a lending manager at BM and have told him that the EWS1 does not apply to my flat because it is under 18m however, he said it doesn’t matter what the government advises or what the RICS regulations say, they want the EWS1 for all flats of all height even if it has no balcony and no cladding! I have also spoken to the Freeholder (Fairview Homes) and they said when the flats were built the EWS1 was unheard of, so they are not obliged to do anything about it! They have supplied the building safety regulations at the time when the flats were built.
