Simon Moore

Chair of Governance and Nominations Committee. Member of Remuneration Committee.

I have over 30 years in the financial sector working for Lloyds Banking Group, Chase Manhattan Bank, ABN AMRO and Barclays Bank, including Managing Director for Barclays Commercial Wales and the South West. I serve as chair of another leading mutual organisation, LV=, the UK life assurance company, as well as serving on a number of other boards.

I am responsible for leading the work of the Board, ensuring the Board operates effectively in setting the strategy, overseeing the performance and setting the risk appetites of the Society. I am also responsible for ensuring robust succession plans are in place, that the Society maintains the highest standards of corporate governance and that we have an open and transparent culture.

My experience as public, private and mutual company board chair and career in the financial sector, with a grounding in regulation, governance, risk, compliance, financial performance, customer service, executive remuneration and member relationships, will give me the oversight required as a member of the board and to contribute to the continued success of the Society.
