Manchester Building Society Results for the Half Year Ended 30 June 2013
Manchester Building Society Group ("the Society") today releases its financial results for the half year ended 30 June 2013.
Key points
Profitability
The Society has reported a solid, profitable start to the year. Its half year profit for before tax was £1,623k (2012 restated: loss £825k).
An organisational restructure during the first six months of 2013 now sees the Society well positioned in its core business areas of mortgage lending and retail deposit taking, with a reduced level of administrative overhead and forecasting a robust level of full year profitability.
Board appointments
Further, the Society is also announcing the appointment of Harold Baines and Ian Dewar as non executive directors with effect from September 2013.
David Harding, Chairman of the Society, said:
"I am pleased to report that the Society has delivered a robust level of profitability for the first half of 2013, even after accommodating exceptional restructuring costs, as this demonstrates a sound underlying trading position.
The appointment of Harry and Ian will further strengthen the Society's Board and I look forward to working closely with them.
The Board's continuing focus will be serving our members as effectively as possible within the constraints of the current low interest rate environment by offering as comprehensive a range of savings and mortgage products as possible."
