Stafford Railway Building Society was formed in 1877 by a small group of railway workers who wanted a means of saving and financing new homes for themselves.
The building society is one of the UKs remaining 61 mutuals and lends throughout the UK. Prudent management and a strong local focus have meant that the Society has remained strong without the need to open offices outside of its original area.
As a result, nearly a century of mergers, take-overs and floatations have passed the Society by, leaving it still doing what it was established to do – offering sensible loans and investments, at sensible rates, to sensible people.
Coming top in the National Building Society category is a fantastic accolade, comments Mike Heenan, chief executive of Stafford Railway.
The SRBS team continues to hold member interests core to the running of the society and its long-term objectives. We have refrained from introducing headline grabbing rates and special offers and instead, have remained focused on offering easy-to-understand and great value products, comments Mike.
The What Mortgage awards are brilliant and reputable marks of how our products compare nationally. Our members can rest assured that they are benefiting from the best value mortgage products available in the country.
