Last week, members from our Thatcham, Hungerford, and Newbury branches were invited to visit the Society’s head office for our second Member Talk event.
The event gives members a fantastic opportunity to meet employees from across the business, hear about what we’re working on, and crucially, have their voices heard through plenty of chances to ask questions and give feedback.
25 members attended the event hosted by our Chief Executive, Phillippa Cardno on 11 April. The event featured a variety of presentations from Melanie Mildenhall (Director of Customer Service), Dean Scott (Chief Operating Officer), Ella Bright (Head of Branch Network - Newbury), and Emma Gentry (Head of Marketing and Communications).
Topics included the refurbishment and extension of our Thatcham branch, the importance of community banking hubs (and what we’re doing to support access to cash in Thatcham!), benefits of Newbury Building Society membership, and Consumer Duty. Attendees were also treated to canapes, refreshments, and the opportunity to network with our colleagues.
