I have long been a passionate advocate for mutuality, seeing the way that mutuality has shaped the organisations that I have worked for over my career. At the heart of a successful building society is a committed and skilled board, working to high governance standards, supporting and challenging the Society’s management and developing and testing the Society’s strategy. I became the Society’s Chair in October 2019 and wish to pay tribute to my predecessor as Chair, Robin Bailey, who is continuing as a Board member into 2020 to facilitate an effective transfer of the role. Robin has been a powerful advocate for the Society and on very many occasions has gone the extra mile to serve the Society and its members over his nine years of tenure. Also standing down
