The Newbury Building Society team celebrate their award

Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

A THAMES VALLEY-based building society is celebrating after winning an award for its mortgage services for the third year in a row.

Newbury Building Society, which has a branch on Broad Street in Wokingham, scooped the title of Best Specialist Mortgage Provider at the 2022 British Bank Awards in central London earlier this month.

The Society was also shortlisted for Best Building Society, which they won in 2021, and Best Savings Provider.

Now in their eighth year, the British Bank Awards are run by independent financial sector review platform, Smart Money People. The purpose of the awards is to find the best products, most exciting innovations, and crown the most trusted financial brands.

All the awards are voted for by customers and this year more than 81,000 financial services customers took part in the voting.

Phillippa Cardno, Newbury’s Chief Executive, said the company was thrilled to win again

“It is testament to the incredible service our teams provide day in, day out, and our tailored approach to mortgage underwriting, where we treat every customer and every application individually,” he said.

“We would like to thank our members for demonstrating their support of the Society in this way.”

Jacqueline Dewey, CEO of Smart Money People, said: “With the awards 100% voted for by consumers and no judging panel, the British Bank Awards truly reflect the best of the UK banking industry, and the commitment and engagement these organisations have from their customers.

“This year our winners range from the newest firms in the market to well-established household names, illustrating the breadth and depth of the UK’s financial services market across many sectors. Both the finalists and the winners of the awards this year should be proud of their achievements.”
