The story

The society was formed in 1953. An agency office (now closed) was opened in Stopsley in Luton in 2008; in September 2010 a fourth branch opened in Wendover, with a fifth in Tring in January 2011 and sixth in Buckingham in March 2011. The Wendover and Buckingham branches were closed in 2020, explaining they were the "smallest and least utilised branches".

In 2015, 2016, and since 2017, each year it has won the What Mortgage Award for Best Local Building Society.
