JEFF PRESTRIDGE: Vernon is the small building society with a big heart showing the way By JEFF PRESTRIDGE FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY Updated: 21:56 GMT, 7 December 2024 e-mail View comments Vernon Building Society shares a lot of good characteristics with its hometown football club, Stockport County. Crucially, both care passionately about their local communities. The football team currently occupies a play-off spot in League One. Owned by successful property businessman Mike Stott, who was born in nearby Hazel Grove, the Hatters go out of their way to be welcoming to supporters, young and old. Last month, they charged kids a fiver for attending the team's FA Cup match against Brackley Town – a match they won 3-1, securing themselves a lucrative third-round fixture against premiership club Crystal Palace in the New Year. And as Ian Ladyman, my sports colleague at the Daily Mail, said recently, it wasn't a one-off. At last month's home game against Bolton, the club laid on pre-match and half-time entertainment for children. To put this into perspective, Manchester United, just ten miles from Stockport's Edgeley Park Stadium, is now charging children £66 to watch a Premier League fixture. Utterly scandalous – Stockport's starting price for children's tickets yesterday at the home match against Exeter was just £2. Vernon displays its local community bent in other ways. Outside Stockport, it has branches where there are no other banks or building societies – Poynton, Cheshire, and Reddish, Greater Manchester. Hats off: Stockport County's ground. Steve Fletcher, right Although its Bramhall branch is the last bank or building society branch standing, there is a nearby banking hub (a community bank) run by the Post Office. In Hazel Grove and Marple, it competes with NatWest and Nationwide, respectively. Steve Fletcher, Vernon's chief executive, is retiring in 12 days. But he says his seven-year stint at the building society has been the happiest of a career in which he has worked at Birmingham Midshires (snapped up by Halifax), Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banking Group (now, Virgin Money, part of Nationwide) and Woolwich (bought by Barclays). When Fletcher joined Vernon in early 2018, the building society was struggling. 'It wasn't modern,' he told me last week. 'Not in the way it treated customers or staff. The regulator also needed to be assured that the business was sustainable.' Fletcher set about reinvigorating Vernon. The society's boardroom was overhauled and made more 'professional'. But more important was a steely determination to grow the mutual's assets through doing mortgage business. Unlike many big rivals, which now use computer programmes to underwrite loan applications (giving borrowers a thumbs up or down), Fletcher decided upon a different approach. Loans are now underwritten individually, enabling the society to lend to borrowers who would be given the cold shoulder by most other lenders. The result is a mortgage book of £500 million, compared with £290 million when Fletcher joined Vernon. All six branches have had makeovers (the one in Marple will reopen just before Christmas), and while passbooks remain an essential part of its offering ('savers love them'), all accounts can now be operated online. 'When I was at Clydesdale and Yorkshire Banking Group,' says Fletcher, 'I was responsible for axing branches, sometimes leaving a town with no bank. It was all about cutting costs and keeping shareholders happy. Here, it has been about building choice for customers. Everything we do is the right thing to do, whether it's making donations to local not-for-profit groups or charities.' Vernon doesn't make big profits (£2.2 million last year), but enough to get by. Earlier this year, it celebrated its 100th anniversary. Let's hope new boss Darren Ditchburn carries on the good work to ensure Vernon remains as integral to the communities it serves as the Hatters are to Stockport.

Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP What you need to know about money every week: This is Money podcast Longstanding funds are still going strong Happy anniversary to investment funds JO Hambro Capital Management (JOHCM) UK Equity Income and Law Debenture. JOHCM UK Equity Income, a £1.7 billion fund, has just celebrated its 20th birthday, while investment trust Law Debenture will mark its 135th a week on Monday at the home of the London Stock Exchange near St Paul's Cathedral. Both funds remain relevant to investors. JOHCM UK Equity Income has outperformed the FTSE All-Share Index over the past one, three, five and ten years, and managers Clive Beagles and James Lowen are confident that 2025 could be another good year. In their latest update, they claim they can deliver dividend growth next year in excess of five per cent. They are also buoyed by the fact that a majority of its 60-odd holdings are 'buys'. With the base rate likely to fall, an annual dividend yield next year of around 5.1 per cent looks enticing. Law Debenture is also focused on UK equity income shares, albeit with a twist. While around 80 per cent of its assets are invested in listed equities (mostly UK firms) and managed by the investment house Janus Henderson, the remainder comprises ownership of the unlisted financial business Independent Professional Services (IPS). IPS has several strands to its bow, providing trustee services to company pension funds and businesses – and a company secretarial facility. It generates a lot of revenue, enhancing its ability to pay shareholders an attractive stream of income. Charity left reeling by NI tax raid A few days ago I popped along to a local charity, the Wokingham and District Association for the Elderly (Wade). Philip Mirfin, chairman of the charity's trustees, gave me a tour of Wade's premises and explained the crucial service it provides to many of the elderly people who live in the Berkshire town. 'We are a small but necessary charity,' he explained. 'We offer day care to the over-60s – where they can get fed, be pampered a little, and meet other people. 'They feel loved and less lonely. If they live with family, it provides the family with respite.' No other organisation in Wokingham offers such a vital service for the elderly. Yet, like many charities and hospices, Rachel Reeves's raid on National Insurance will hit Wade hard. Mirfin estimates that together with the higher minimum wage – but after the hike in employment allowance, which small employers can use to mitigate their NI costs – Wade's NI costs will rise by £27,000 next year. Not a huge hit on the surface, but it is when Wade is spending more on the day care it provides (£578,846 last year) than it generates in income (£513,615). Like similar charities up and down the country, Wade provides a key service at a time when social care provision in this country is creaking at the seams.

(Bloomberg) — Mexico is looking beyond the incoming Trump administration’s threats of tariffs, betting on a bright future for global merchandise trade no matter what actions its northern neighbor and biggest trading partner takes. While Donald Trump promises 60% levies on goods imported from China and 20% on the rest of the world, Mexico is making a substantial investment to more than double the capacity of its main commercial port — a show of confidence that imports and exports will increase significantly in the coming years. The 55 billion-peso ($2.7 billion) expansion of the Navy-run Port of Manzanillo, located in the western state of Colima on the Pacific Ocean, would vault it into the top 20 container ports in the world. That represents a huge leap from its current position of 53rd in the latest Lloyd’s List ranking and would position it as the busiest in Latin America. With completion targeted for 2030, the expanded port would cover more than 1,800 hectares (4,448 acres) compared with the existing 450 hectares. That additional land and more equipment will allow annual capacity to more than double to 10 million 20-foot containers, said retired Admiral Mario Alberto Gasque, general director of Asipona Manzanillo, the Navy agency that runs the facility. Annual volumes at that level would put Manzanillo on par with the Port of Los Angeles, the busiest US gateway for maritime trade. Among the main products the port receives from more than 140 countries are materials for the automotive industry, agricultural products and steel, Gasque said. The public sector will fund about a quarter of the investment, with the private sector financing the rest. The port has already received written expressions of investment interest from several private companies, including Mexico’s Ferromex, a Grupo Mexico Transportes railroad unit, said Cesar Sandoval, planning manager at Asipona Manzanillo. Increasingly, though, ports are getting entangled in geopolitical tensions. The US and Canada have both expressed concern about Mexico becoming a back door into North America for China. And US-based consulting firm Rhodium Group said in a report last month that Chinese direct investment in Mexico is six times higher than shown in official statistics. An adviser to Trump’s transition team has even threatened 60% tariffs on goods from anywhere shipped through Chinese ports across Latin America, a direct challenge to the new Chinese-owned port in Chancay, Peru, that was inaugurated this month by President Xi Jinping. The threat could also affect Mexico: China operates several port concessions from Ensenada in the north on the Baja California coast to Lazaro Cardenas and Veracruz in the south. But Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, who is set to visit the Manzanillo facility on Saturday, insists her government has a plan to substitute many of its imports from China with goods made locally, both by Mexican and foreign firms. She is also pushing back forcefully against US and Canadian criticism. The idea China is using Mexico as a back door to the US “is not correct,” the president said Friday during her daily press briefing. “Automobiles manufactured in Mexico, whether they are exported to the United States or stay in Mexico, have only 7% content of products coming from China. In the United States, it is 9%,” Sheinbaum added. During a tour organized by the Navy at the Manzanillo port’s facilities, several Asipona officials said they weren’t concerned that Trump’s threats would affect the port’s expansion plans. Although China is the main country that moves merchandise through Manzanillo, the port also receives goods from other Asian countries like Japan and South Korea, according to Julieta Juarez Ochoa, the facility’s commercialization manager. That’s on top of goods from the US, Canada, Australia and Latin American nations including Chile and Ecuador, she added. “We are not really worried about it, because we are aware of the dynamism of Mexican ports,” Juarez said of Trump’s promised tariffs. “We continue growing, we continue seeking to be an efficient and dynamic port and there are going to be many options for Mexico.” Earlier this year, Mexico imposed tariffs designed to curb the flow of steel from China after the US complained it was ending up in products shipped north across the border, undermining fair competition. Sheinbaum’s officials have also been talking about how to close their own trade imbalance with China and strengthen ties with their North American partners. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has also said his government has concerns about Mexico’s trade with China amid an upcoming review of the North American free-trade deal overhauled during Trump’s first administration scheduled for 2026. Trudeau remains hopeful the three countries can work constructively on the issues over the coming months. Some Canadian provincial leaders, including the premiers of Ontario and Alberta, argue Canada should pursue a bilateral trade deal with the US due to Mexico’s more open trade with China. But so far neither Trudeau nor Chrystia Freeland, his deputy prime minister who previously led continental trade talks, have backed that call. “We are seeking to continue moving forward without being slowed down by the geopolitical situation,” Gasque said. His agency wants Mexican ports to be able to “adapt to the political situation that exists at any given moment.” Drug interdiction is also among the incoming Trump administration’s priorities. And the Manzanillo port continues to work on improving its security protocols to attract more customers, especially after commitments made between Mexico and the US to reduce trafficking. “We have increased our technological capacity to detect illicit substances, including precursor chemicals for the manufacture of synthetic drugs such as methamphetamine and fentanyl,” said Captain Luis Martinez Cabrera, chief of information and risk analysis at the facility. —With assistance from Maya Averbuch, Robert Jameson, Brad Skillman and Travis Waldron.

Cultural Event: Cybernetic Existentialism on exhibit in more Museums 12-20-2024 11:44 PM CET | Leisure, Entertainment, Miscellaneous Press release from: Getnews / PR Agency: Headlineplus It has been forty years since the birth of the art movement, yet its relevance remains unparalleled in the contemporary landscape. Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2024/12/189767e0bb6f67e5d440810b820eb52c.jpg Elena Garas The esteemed scholar Elena Garas, an expert in Cybernetic Existentialism-a groundbreaking artistic movement led by the Italian Ruffo Caselli (1932/2020) -announced the upcoming highly-anticipated exhibition at the Nizhny Museum of Fine Arts in Russia. The inaugural ceremony is set for January 14th, promising to showcase iconic artworks that explore the intersection of technology and philosophy, inviting visitors to engage with a thought-provoking experience unlike any other. Elena Garas has delved deeply into the works of Caselli, known as the painter of microchips, particularly those from the 1970s and 1980s crafted in Milan, which have graced prestigious galleries and cultural centers in North and South America. These canvasses blend humanity and technology, offering a profound reflection on the future. Garas has brought these works to life through exhibitions and conferences held in emblematic venues, such as the Historical Museum of the Urals in Chelyabinsk and the Historical Museum in Uray, located in the autonomous region of Khanty-Mansiysk. Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2024/12/85383e826e0e72cbdc2e9fb151812bde.jpg Elena Garas at the historical Museum of Urals in Chelyabinsk These events have garnered unanimous acclaim from both audiences and critics, enhanced by the participation of renowned experts like Oksana Yurievna, director of the Strelets Museum, and Zaitsev Dmitry Stanislavovich, a doctorate in cultural studies. Garas has skillfully blended an academic approach with engaging storytelling, making the works of Caselli not only accessible but also stimulating for a diverse audience. Through her efforts, she has created a bridge between contemporary art and the public, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of these significant contributions to the art world. One of the most significant exhibitions took place at the Chelyabinsk Museum, known for housing fragments of the meteorite that struck the city in 2013. "This connection between the sky and the earth, between science and art, perfectly reflects the message of Cybernetic Existentialism. From the suggestion of the meteorite to the universe of Caselli. I still remember the indescribable enthusiasm when Ruffo's first canvases arrived from Milan at the Italian Consulate,' Garas recounts. 'Everyone wanted to explore the details of these works to immerse themselves in Caselli's infinite universe.' Image: https://www.globalnewslines.com/uploads/2024/12/83a1f9b5adce5ce5d7150f54c1ce5a71.jpg Maestro Caselli was a precursor. That is the first word that comes to mind to refer to his inexhaustible work and the mark it has left. A precursor is an advance, a pioneer, a person with the ability to observe and intuit what others are not yet able to see or experience.

In 1983, Ruffo Caselli's first art exhibit in the United States, titled "Chips are us," featured the captivating espression "Cybernetic Existentialism" as a subtitle. The sponsor, the Manhattan gallery and cultural center founded by Carmen Gallo, promoted this enigmatic phrase setting for the first time the stage for a discourse on the fusion of technology and the human experience.
