Annual General Meeting 2020

Robert AGM

Thank you to everyone who voted as part of our AGM – particularly in the current circumstances with COVID-19. We are required by law to hold an AGM within a specified time period and this year it was a very different, scaled down meeting. We took a safe approach restricting the meeting to the very minimum number of colleagues, who are also members, and they carefully observed Government guidance. All the resolutions were passed based on all the votes received from our members online and by post.


It was great that members could still get involved by asking questions on our voting website and by post. We really value your opinions and feedback and are reviewing all of these and replying to any questions raised. Members can still ask questions using the contact us section on our website. We’ll make sure the points raised are taken into account as we run our business in the future.


As a mutual with no shareholders, voting at our Annual General Meeting is a really important way for our members to shape the future of the Society – thank you again.

Robert East, Chair of Skipton Building Society
