‘My focus is always on getting the best for our members. We’ve made good progress carefully integrating The Co-operative Bank with the Society, all the while, keeping service standards high.

 

As the Board’s Sustainability Champion, I’m passionate about long term sustainability and making sure the Society is well run and built to last. That means getting the full benefit of the integration, investing in modern systems and digital ways of working, managing costs and making thoughtful decisions. This is so we can continue to deliver good service, fair value and create products that meet members' needs – now and in the years ahead.

 

For me, success is knowing we genuinely make a difference for members.’

‘I believe that placing members at the heart of our decision making is essential to our ongoing success. This focus has driven the Society to consistently deliver excellent service and long-term value to members. In my role as Environmental, Sustainability and Governance (ESG) Champion on the Board, I take great pride in how the Society has delivered on sustainability across all fronts. From environmental initiatives to social responsibility, we have made significant progress in caring for our colleagues, communities and the wider society. I believe that long-term sustainability depends not only on these efforts but also on strong financial performance and continuous investment in technology and digital capabilities. During 2024, the Society has excelled in these areas, building a solid foundation for the future. The successful acquisition of The Co-operative Bank further strengthens this foundation and although there is much to do in integrating the two organisations, the acquisition will ensure the Society remains resilient and well-positioned to serve its members now and in the future.’
