Monmouthshire Building Society opens in Caerphilly

Monmouthshire Building Society, one of Wales’s largest and most successful financial institutions, has opened an agency in the Caerphilly offices of Howells Solicitors.

Located at 72 – 74 Cardiff Road in the town centre, the Caerphilly agency is the latest addition to the growing number of Monmouthshire Building Society agencies and branches covering the whole of South Wales from Chepstow to Swansea.

Andrew Lewis, Chief Executive of Monmouthshire Building Society, said, “As a regional building society, we remain committed to providing the best possible customer experience and part of that commitment is to maintain our planned growth strategy to increase our high street presence.”

He continued, “Howells Solicitors are one of the largest, established legal practices in Wales. We are delighted to be joining forces with them in their Caerphilly premises to further extend our competitive products and services into local communities.”

Mark Hobbs, Managing Partner of Howells Solicitors welcomes the addition of Monmouthshire Building Societies products and services. He said, “Both organisations pride themselves on providing the highest levels of customer service. We have had an office in the town for over 30 years and established strong relationships with the residents. We are delighted to now be able to offer the products and services of the Monmouthshire Building Society as an alternative to those provided by the high street banks. We have dedicated space in our Caerphilly office for Monmouthshire Building Society and our staff are very excited about launching the new services.”

The Newport-based mutual Society recently announced another excellent set of annual results, in which its assets grew to a record £819M, up from £742M the previous year. In the twelve months to 30th April 2012, it experienced 10.3% growth, whilst profit after tax reached £2.7m, as customers continued to respond to the Society’s secure track record, quality of service and competitive product range.
