Stuart has over 20 years of business leadership experience across financial services. He brings a unique blend of technical and customer facing skills and experiences which will support delivering value to our members and the modernisation of the Group. Stuart is driven by the purpose of serving members' interests both now and preparing the business, to continue to serve those interests in future.

“I am fully focused on creating a strong franchise now and in the future by careful stewardship of the group. This will ensure that it matters more now and in the future to our members and customers. The Skipton Group is an incredible set of businesses. It’s well placed to address challenges such as access to your first home, financial education and quality impartial advice, as well as improving access to the housing market and energy efficiency in UK homes. We’ve made a start, but there’s so much more we can and should do to support people in these crucial areas. My job is to continue this work, to make our organisation even more relevant for both existing and new members as they consider their long-term financial needs and aspirations.”
