A building society with a branch in Wokingham has won two national awards.

Newbury Building Society have been named Best Building Society at the prestigious British Bank Awards 2025.

At the same awards, the society was also awarded the Best Building Society Savings Provider, seeing off competition from twelve other building societies.

Phillippa Cardno, Newbury Building Society’s chief executive, said: “We are honoured to have received these prestigious awards.

“As a mutual building society, our customers are always at the heart of everything we do, which makes these awards, which are based entirely on their feedback, especially meaningful.

“It stands as a testament to the unwavering commitment and consistently high standards delivered by our people —both to our customers and to one another.

“This achievement reflects the dedication of every colleague across our branch network and head office – it is a collective success that the entire Newbury team can take immense pride in.

“I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to our customers for taking the time to vote and share their experiences.

“Their support continues to inspire us to evolve and improve.”

The British Bank Awards, run by the UK’s foremost financial review site, Smart Money People, are in their 11th year. The awards are decided by votes from customers, with 178,000 cast during this year’s voting period.

The Society, who have a branch in Broad Street, Wokingham, in addition to nine other locations, were also named Trusted Quality Provider at the UK Customer Satisfaction Awards 2025 earlier this year.
