Ashfield District Council leader Jason Zadrozny officially opened Mansfield Building Society’s new branch premises on Low Street in Sutton.

It follows significant investment by the building society, which includes:

two air-conditioned interview rooms
modern counter service
online access to the society’s website and savings portal through touch screen tablets
stylish open seating area, which provides space for customers to chat and take the weight off their feet, or for community groups to use for meetings or for promoting their services to customers.

Branch and community development manager Nicola Caulton said: “As a local building society, owned by our members, we believe that having a High Street presence is important because our customers tell us that they appreciate the face-to-face contact our branches offer.

“We’re proud of our modern and personal approach and recognise the value we bring to the community.

“Not only do we contribute to our local community through our Charitable Trust, Community Support Scheme and volunteering, investment in our branch network also highlights our bright future and commitment to our heartland area.”

Coun Zadrozny said it was another success story for the district, adding: “We’ve recently seen a variety of businesses investing in Sutton. I’m pleased that these businesses share our vision for the future of Sutton.”
