“As our Consumer Duty Board Champion, I’ve spent time with colleagues to make sure we’re delivering good customer outcomes and meeting our regulatory requirements. This year I’m keen to understand the key frustrations for our members and to support the business in delivering its strategic plan. Throughout my career, my main motivation has always been to make a difference for both customers and colleagues. Skipton Group has amazing colleagues who are very focused on doing the right thing for our members and the Group as a whole. I see part of my role as ensuring there is both a member and colleague voice at board.”
