We are The Nottingham; a Top 10 Building Society. At the centre of the business is our Branch Network of 62 branches. Our heartland currently stretches across ten counties. We are proud to be different and continue to open more branches on the high street. And with circa 800 members of staff, we are committed to continuing to offer top quality service and advice. But don't just take our word for it, our customers are very happy to recommend us. At The Nottingham, we pride ourselves on looking after our customers' money. It's something we have been doing successfully since 1849. We're a mutual building society, which means we are owned by our members. Unlike banks, we don't have shareholders and therefore don't pay dividends. It means our profits and extra benefits can be passed on to customers through things like lower mortgages and higher savings rates. Being smart with money is in our DNA - for over 165 years we have helped our customers own their own homes, provided a safe and secure place for their savings and supported them in managing their finances. We are the only society to combine building society and estate agency services in one branch. It means we offer an ‘all-under-one-roof' service for savings, mortgages, estate agency and financial planning. We pride ourselves on our excellent service, choice, great value and expert advice. We know customers value our services. Of 5,000 independently surveyed, more than two out of three existing customers rated their experience as "excellent". We are also the only building society to offer ‘whole of market' mortgage advice, which means we search more than 50 lenders to find customers the right mortgage. We are also a member of the Building Societies Association and have one of the biggest estate agency offerings in the UK. Doing Good Together: As a mutual organisation, we've always believed in helping our community. Following in the footsteps of our founder Samuel Fox, we set up ‘Doing Good Together' in 2011 to make a difference to local communities and help them become more prosperous and actively support the following: Employability, Financial education and literacy, Homelessness (We believe that everyone should have a roof over their head) and Sporting talent and community well-being. Partnerships: The Nottingham is a community-based building society providing more than just financial services to the region. We are an important employer in the area and use regional suppliers wherever possible. We are also proud to partner with local companies, businesses, sports teams and events that share our values, heritage and commitment. Women in Finance Charter: The Nottingham is proud to be signatory to the Woman in Finance Charter a government initiative designed to improve gender diversity in senior positions within the financial services sector. The Society has a strong record on diversity and inclusion achieved over many years and continues to focus and invest efforts in this area. We were therefore delighted to see that The Nottingham featured in the Gadhia review as one of the leading organisations in the rankings of female leadership representation across the financial services industry and the only Building Society in the top 20 financial services organisations.
