Published

The new larger branch is the fourth of the society's branches to undergo a transformation.

It was officially opened by the Mayor of Dudley, Councillor Steve Waltho, on April 18 and he was joined by local comedy group The Fizzogs who spent time meeting customers and treated them to an impromptu performance.

Jeremy Wood, chief executive of the Dudley Building Society, said; "We are thrilled with the result of our new branch in the Townsend Place Precinct, especially with the increased visibility this corner location offers us.

"We were keen to ensure we didn't move far from the location of our High Street branch but I'm sure our customers will welcome the change.

"We are passionate about the importance of our branch network and see it as an essential part of our business."

The significant investment into its branch network is seeing the 158-year-old Black Country society continue to grow and prosper, with a positive year end performance soon to be announced.

As a mutual building society, profit is injected back into the betterment of the society's members and not to meet the short term needs of shareholders.

Councillor Waltho said on his visit: "The new look branch is stunning and the society should be commended on its investment in the high street. It is lovely to see a financial institution that focuses on personal service and the individual needs of each customer."
