Annual General Meeting 2022

Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) was held on Monday 25 April and we were delighted that members joined us, both in person and virtually. There are some changes to the Board this year as Robert East (Chair), David Cutter (Group Chief Executive) and Amanda Burton (Non-Executive Director) stepped down from their roles after the AGM. Gwyn Burr is our new Chair.

I wanted to say thank you to everyone who voted at the AGM. It's with great pride that I take up my role at Skipton. As customer behaviour continues to evolve, I look forward to working with the team in meeting the new challenges this brings so we can continue to meet our customers' needs.

Gwyn Burr, Group Chair of Skipton Building Society

What we talked about

This year we were pleased that members joined us both in person and via live stream. The speeches summarised our successful year and our plans for the Society.

We talked about the issues that mattered to our members such as diversity and climate change and were asked some great questions. We'll make sure the points raised - both from those who got in touch before the meeting and from the event - are taken into account as we run your Society in the future.

Changes to the Rules of the Society

The Board proposed some changes to the Society's Rules and the resolution was passed by members at this year's AGM. You can read a detailed summary of these changes along with a copy of our current 2014 Rules showing all the proposed changes (the `Revised Rules') below.

Now the rule changes have been approved at the AGM, it's intended that the changes will take effect from 1 August 2022 as the Rules of the Society 2022, after formal registration with the Financial Conduct Authority. When effective, the new Rules of the Society will be published on the Governance page and will be available in branch or from our head office on request.

Thank you for having your say

As a mutual with no shareholders, voting at our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is a really important way for our members to shape the future of the Society – thank you to everyone who voted and asked questions. We really value your opinions and feedback.
