This year, we are pleased to confirm that we will be holding our Annual General Meeting (AGM) at our Principal Office in Hinckley.
The meeting will take place at 6:00pm on Tuesday 25 March 2025, with entry to the Principal Office available from 5:30pm. Refreshments will be served to those members who join us at the Principal Office.
If you cannot attend in person, the voting form provides details of how to appoint a proxy or to vote before the date of the meeting.
At the AGM you will hear about the future direction of the Society from myself and the Chief Executive. In addition, you will be able to ask questions of the Board and Executive by emailing your question in advance or by asking them directly at the meeting. If you intend to join us at the Principal Office, please ensure that you bring your proxy voting form, passbook and another form of identification, to prove eligibility to attend and vote.
If you are unable to attend, there are a number of ways for you to send your questions to us in advance of the meeting. You can:
- Email any questions to agm@hrbs.co.uk;
- Visit your local branch and hand your questions to a member of staff; or
- Write to Nemone Wynn-Evans, Chair of the Board, Hinckley & Rugby Building Society, Upper Bond Street, Hinckley, Leicestershire LE10 1NZ.
The Society’s financial results and a summary of its achievements during the 2023-24 financial year are outlined in the Summary Financial Statement, containing the Summary Directors’ Report and Summary Financial Results for the year ended 30 November 2024.
Your AGM pack contains the Notice of Annual General Meeting for the Society’s one hundred and fifty- ninth AGM, together with a proxy voting form and pre-paid envelope to enable you to vote prior to the AGM.
You will notice that all eight of the Society’s directors and non-executive directors are standing for re-election at this year’s AGM and we see this as best practice governance. The details of the directors standing for re-election can be seen on pages 26 and 27 of the Summary Financial Statement.
To learn more about the items to be voted on, please refer to the Notice of Annual General Meeting on page 24 of the Summary Financial Statement.
We hope you can attend in person, and we are keen to feel the presence and hear the views of as many members as possible at the AGM. You can cast your votes in person at the AGM, by post, online, or in branch before the AGM. Please ensure that your vote reaches us in time as the deadline for receiving your votes has been set as midnight on Saturday 22 March 2025.
I would like to finish by thanking you for the support you have given the Society over the last year.
Yours sincerely
Nemone Wynn-Evans
Chair of the Board
