Awards

Best Green Lender

The Society won Best Green Lender at this year’s Financial Reporter Brokers’ Choice Awards, recognising our innovations and commitment to green lending and environmentally friendly operations.

Our unique partnership with green retrofit specialist Retrogreen supports property owners to improve their property’s energy efficiency, and to raise their Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. This service covers the full cost of green retrofitting through a lower-rate green mortgage, overcoming the affordability barrier.

Best Self Build Mortgage Lender

The Society proudly won Best Self Build Mortgage Lender at the 2023 Build It Awards, recognising our efforts in innovating and enhancing our offerings to meet the financial needs of self-builders.

Integral to our success in the self-build sector has been the strength of our exclusive partnership with BuildStore, the UK’s leading provider of services and support for self-builders. This has driven innovation and change at every level, resulting in an award-winning formula that provides maximum benefit to homebuilders.

Consumer Duty Champion of the Year

Cheryl Pidler, our Director of Operations, was presented with the award for Consumer Duty Champion of the Year at the first-ever Consumer Duty Leadership Awards. The award recognised Cheryl’s commitment to driving the Society’s customer-centric policies, which aim to put the customer first in everything we do. It is a testament particularly to her leadership role in reshaping our organisation to better meet the needs of our members.
