Local building society The Hanley is delighted to announce that it will be opening a new branch and advice centre in the town of Biddulph during October 2010.

David Webster, Chief Executive of The Hanley commented

“We are thrilled to be opening a new branch and advice centre in Biddulph which complements our existing branch network and demonstrates our commitment to the local community of North Staffordshire. The decision to extend our network is a strong signal of The Hanley’s strength in this difficult economic climate.

The Biddulph branch presents us with a unique opportunity to continue to provide a local and trusted source of financial services to the community of Biddulph and surrounding areas.”

Also commenting on the new branch was David Lownds, Senior Manager for Marketing

“I’m convinced that the people of Biddulph will be pleased to see a local trusted building society remaining in the town to offer competitive products and provide excellent customer service. We already have a membership base in the town and we look forward to welcoming existing and new members to the branch.”

This oppourtunity has arisen due to the announcement of the closure of the Biddulph premises by the Cheshire Building Society.
