Branching out
THE Britannia
Building Society, Britain's second largest mutual, has relocated its
Southport branch and invested £300,000; to celebrate the staff held
a party.
‘Weapons of Sound’ - a unique junk funk band entertained
guests with their extravaganza of music and street theatre . Along
with this vibrant band, ‘Decorating jugglers’ also
added a splash of colour to the party and brightened up the town
with their extraordinary and breathtaking street theatre.
At the party, wine
was flowing and guests dined from a buffet. In addition, Britannia
ran a competition for one lucky person to win a luxury fine wine and
food hamper.
Following Britannia's acquisition of the Bristol & West branch
network in September 2005, the Britannia name has appeared in 65 new
towns.
Research by the Society shows that while many financial
organisations are closing high street branches, Britannia is
committed to maintaining and improving its branch network -
remaining an integral part of the community.
By the end of this year they will have refurbished 57 branches,
relocated the Southport branch and acquired an entirely new branch,
taking the total to 253 branches.
Mary Cloherty, Manager of Britannia's Southport branch, explained:-
"The party was a great success with people dancing in the
street to the music of ‘Weapons of Sound’. Britannia’s Managing
Director of Member Business, Tim Franklin also joined the fun and
welcomed the people of Southport into the branch, to meet the staff
and see our new branch for themselves." |
