Annual General Meeting results 2020
As a mutual building society, each year we invite members to attend our Annual General Meeting (AGM). Due to the Covid-19 (Coronavirus) advice issued by the Government and Public Health England together with the closure of the AGM venue, the Society made significant changes to the 2020 AGM, including a new time and venue. The AGM was due to take place at 11am on 3rd April 2020 at the Leeds Marriott Hotel, but was adjourned to 12pm, and took place at the Society’s Head Office, 105 Albion Street, Leeds. The Society continues to be owned and controlled by its members and we seek to ensure the Society remains successful and independent, putting your needs and contributions central to our decisions without the involvement of external shareholders.
At the AGM held on the 3rd April 2020 our members have voted overwhelmingly in favour of all the resolutions. So we would like to say a big thank you to all members who took the time to vote this year. Details of the full results are set out below.
