“Working for a mutual organisation, I’m wholly focused on the value and service we provide to members. Delivering value goes beyond financial return. It also means keeping your Society safe and secure in the short and long term, and anticipating and responding effectively to risks.
Delivering excellent service includes giving you reliable information in a fair, balanced and understandable form. This lets you assess how well your Society is performing and how it serves you and contributes to the wider community. I regard achieving these aims as the core of my role.”
