2023 was a special year as we marked our Platinum Jubilee, celebrating 70 years of helping people to buy their own homes and save for their future.

This pioneering group overcame adversity and believed the community deserved support to be able to buy local homes and to save for their future. Our Society was built upon the vision of helping customers achieve their ambitions, to serve our members and strive to help them secure their financial future so that their dreams and aspirations were made possible. We’ve come a long way since our inception in 1953 and we continue to maintain our traditional values as we look to the future and to the next 70 years… whatever they may bring.

To help celebrate our 70th anniversary, we held a Head Office party where all colleagues came together over pizza and cake to help mark this momentous occasion. In addition, the Society held a quiz night for all our colleagues to join. Over 40 attended for a fun evening of quizzing with food, lots of chocolate, sweets, and drinks on offer. Team names were either building society or number 70 inspired. ‘Mutually Magnificent’ were crowned the winning team on the night.

Furthermore, we also committed to achieving over 70 hours of colleague volunteering throughout the year. We exceeded this target, ending the year with over 300 hours spent supporting some fantastic causes.
