“My priority has always been on making sure the interests of our members are safeguarded. Whatever happens in the world, it’s important that we service their needs effectively. I’m a big advocate of Skipton’s core principle in putting members first. And it’s been great to see our member-driven values and purpose grow even further over the years. As well as the Society, I also serve on the boards of other financial institutions in Europe. This keeps me informed on current issues, so I can contribute to the Society by weighing up different approaches to common challenges.”
