A record year for awards

Our latest award win at the Personal Finance Awards, makes it a record year for us on the awards front. 

On 4 December 2024 we won Best First Time Buyer Mortgage Provider at The Personal Finance Awards 2024/25 . This caps what has been a record year for the Society.

We've won five awards, the most we've ever won in a year. We've also been Highly Commended for a further three awards, and Commended or shortlisted for another five awards.

This achievement is all the more pleasing given the period of growth and change we have been undertaking within the Society, so it's great to be recognised for maintaining such high standards with our products and service.
