We are immensely proud to announce that we have won not just one, but TWO, awards at the prestigious British Bank Awards 2025, often referred to as the 'Oscars of the financial world.'
We were honoured to take home the awards for Best Building Society Savings Provider and Best Building Society at the 10th annual ceremony in central London. What a night!
These accolades follow closely on the heels of our recent success in the 'Trusted Quality Provider' category at UK Customer Satisfaction Awards - further demonstrating our commitment to excellent, tailored customer experiences across all areas of the Society.
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.
Phillippa (Chief Executive), along with Dean (Director of Proposition and Distribution) and members of our Marketing Team were on hand to proudly accept the awards and deliver them safely back to head office the next day.

We would like to extend an enormous thank you to our members for their continued support and celebration of the Society. The British Bank Awards, which are run by financial review site, Smart Money People, are voted for entirely by customers. Our success would not be possible without you, and we hope that you are as proud of your Society as we are.
