Speaker: Paul Norgrove, ABCUL President
Paul Norgrove: 2025 will undoubtedly be a year of change. And we're looking to position the association in the best possible place for the incoming new leadership, but to also maintain our momentum and pledge to you all that the service you've been accustomed to won't be compromised, particularly around the lobbying agenda. We have a great opportunity with the new Labour government and our focus on financial inclusion. Our involvement with legislative and regulatory reform, but also things like the common bond call for evidence, which is something we've been championing for a long time, is a unique opportunity for ABCUL to continue to influence positive outcomes for credit unions and their members. I'd like to close in again, thanking Robert for his leadership over the last six years and our members for their trust and support, to the Board and the team at this transitional phase. But let's not forget, 2025 promises to be a bright future for credit unions across Great Britain. Thank you.
