Our Society wins at the Swansea Bay Business Awards 2022

We are delighted to announce that our Society has been named as winner of the Medium to Large Business category at this year’s Swansea Bay Business Awards.

The award was presented to our CEO, Alun Williams, at the prestigious annual awards ceremony held at the Brangwyn Hall in Swansea on the evening of Thursday September 15, 2022.

The Swansea Bay Business Awards cover the Swansea Bay City Region, incorporating the local authority areas of Swansea, Neath Port Talbot, Carmarthenshire, and Pembrokeshire. They celebrate the achievements of the talented and successful individuals, companies and entrepreneurs that work across the region.

The awards feature 11 individual categories, with the addition of two awards given for overall Company of the Year and a Judges’ Choice Award for a firm that has demonstrated exceptional growth.

The Medium to Large Business category is open to all companies in the Swansea Bay Region with 25 or more employees. Winning the award recognises our Society’s innovative products, services and processes, as well as our expansion into new markets and different areas of business activity.

It also recognises the work done by the Society to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 on our staff and customers, our processes and profit, as well as rewarding our long-term planning and investment, and our work in supporting the wider community.

Alun Williams, our CEO, said:

“Winning this award means a great deal to the whole team at Swansea Building Society and reflects the hard work everyone at the Society puts in. As a mutual, our aim is always to make the right decisions and investments for our members. It’s great, therefore, that this award highlights the work we have done over the past couple of years to help the communities we serve by keeping our branches open and making significant donations to charities and community groups throughout a very difficult time for them.

“As ever, we will continue to innovate our products and services, and expand our team and presence where we can, always with the goal of helping more people plan their finances and get the mortgages they need to build a secure future.”
