Formed more than 150 years ago, the society has grown strongly but remains firmly committed to its principles of mutual ownership, personal service and commitment to its local community. It now has assets of almost £700 million and 110 employees. In each of the last six years, Newbury Building Society has been a finalist in What Mortgage magazine’s 'best regional lender' awards.
"We are known for our excellent level of customer service, widespread community involvement and our firm commitment to providing long-term value to all members," the society says. "Branches are the key to giving our members an excellent personal service, but we recognise the need to investigate other distribution channels and are continually looking at new and better ways of bringing products and services to members."
The CML now has 111 members and 85 associates.
