Elect James Sherwin-Smith to represent Nationwide building society members

The Times

The Times: “he is asking a lot of the right questions.”

My thanks to Patrick Hosking at The Times for putting Nationwide’s recent “big thank you” payment under scrutiny, and for this final paragraph.

Read his article in the Times: Nationwide is paying out £600m to its members. But should it be? (19 March 2025)

I rather liked this final paragraph:

“Sherwin-Smith is too purist about those cash payments, but he is asking a lot of the right questions. Members who want to nominate him as a board director can find him on james4nationwide.co.uk. Nationwide does need to explain better where it is going, how it allocates rewards and why.
