Yorkshire Building Society Group is the UK’s second largest building society with assets exceeding £30 billion. It focuses on providing its members with financial security and long term value across a comprehensive range of products backed up with excellent customer service.
The multi-award winning Group has over 3.5 million members and is based in Bradford, where it employs over 2,000 people. It has a network of 230 branches and 96 agencies across the UK and the Group incorporates Chelsea, Norwich & Peterborough and Barnsley building society brands as well as intermediary lender Accord Mortgages.
As a mutual, the Yorkshire is committed to playing an active role in the communities it serves and its community programme, Societies Together, encompasses all its community, charity and volunteering work including that of Yorkshire Building Society Charitable Foundation. In 2012, this added up to more than £1.23m being donated to charities, good causes and community groups. £79,000 of this was donated across Bradford along with 3,976 colleague volunteering hours.
