* People are at the heart of everything, ensuring a consistently first-class experience for customers and colleagues

* There is a strong values based culture and social purpose, demonstrated through support for charitable, community and environmentally-friendly local causes

* People development, whatever the role, is a high priority, with opportunities to stretch within or beyond the role

* An industry leader, being awarded a distinction level ‘ServiceMark’ accreditation from the Institute of Customer Service, and ‘Best Specialist Mortgage Provider’ (for the third year in a row) at the British Banking Awards in 2022.
