‘Protecting our members' money will always be my number one priority and a responsibility which I take incredibly seriously. Enhancing security and resilience across the Society and guarding against the ever increasing threats facing us is our most important focus area and we will continue to make the necessary investment in technology and capabilities to minimise the risk.
Ensuring safety and security will continue to receive all my attention, especially as we move forward with our integration of The Co-operative Bank.
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. Fulfilling these objectives is central to my role.’
