Scottish Building Society wins Building Society of the Year award
Scottish Building Society (SBS) has been celebrating after scooping Building Society of the Year award at the annual Mortgage Introducer Scottish Mortgage Awards last week.
The awards dinner took place at Prestonfield House in Edinburgh, where the brightest and best of the Scottish property finance market were recognised, bringing together some of the most senior operators in the industry.
SBS has been praised on their people, products and services on offer, which demonstrate excellence and originality within the Scottish Intermediary mortgage market.
Paul Denton, SBS chief executive, said: “It is an honour for SBS to have won the Building Society of the Year award, alongside four strong nominees. This is our first award of 2020, the team consistently work really hard so this is a great recognition of those efforts.
“We are proud to be Scotland’s only independent building society. Customers are at the heart of our business, no matter if you require advice on your mortgage or planning for a rainy day or the future.”
Mr Denton brings a wealth of experience, having worked with RBS and the Co-op before joining SBS – the world’s oldest building society.
Robyn Hall, publishing director at Mortgage Introducer, added: “To scoop the accolade of Building Society of the year is no mean feat. Competition in this category was exceptionally tough against some of the biggest names in the mutual sector. What swung it for the judges was the true diversification of a strong society that is not afraid to push the boundaries but still remain inclusive to all. Well done Scottish Building Society!”
The Mortgage Introducer Awards were judged by independent and respectable experts.
