Jon Hall, Saffron chief executive, looked forward to 2013 and beyond and highlighted Saffron’s commitment to providing access to highly relevant products for all members, rewarding loyalty and listening to members needs.
Hall said: “It was great to announce that Saffron is still the largest independent building society in the East of England and that we could report another year of profit and a significant growth in Saffron’s assets which are now over £1.2 bn.
“It was also really encouraging to see such a great turn out and so many members at this year’s meeting.
“For me the AGM typifies how being regionally-based allows our members to keep up-to-date stay involved with what we’re doing and have a say on how the Society is run.
“Going forward we will continue to deliver high levels of service offer assistance in branch and online and help more homeowners with their mortgage and savings needs.”
