Looking Back

The Staffordshire Potteries Economic Permanent Benefit Building Society was founded in October 1854. The name was shortened in 1930 to Hanley Economic Building Society.

By definition, a building society is collectively owned and run for the benefit of its customers/members and like many building societies, The Hanley is still located in the community in which it was founded, so there is no surprise in the fact that we are already heavily involved in that community.

For many years we have given strong support to the local community. We have played a key role as a responsible employer by developing our business in full recognition that the way we do business has a wider impact on our local community.
