Driven by our mutual heritage
Skipton Building Society has come a long way since it was founded in 1853, moving with the times and supporting members through life’s ups and downs. What has never changed is its mutual values of looking after members. The Skipton Group model was developed in the 1980s. The aim was to build on the Society’s mutual roots, by developing a diverse range of businesses that help people with a variety of financial needs. The Group has grown to where we are today.
One of our biggest assets is our people. We have talented colleagues across the Group’s organisations, and strive to make them great places to work – where they feel able to be the best version of themselves. We’re proud that a lot of colleagues have chosen to stay with the Group for many years.
What matters most of all is we continue to be here and provide products and services for the customers of each organisation. The businesses that make up the Group work together to remain strong for the future. So each organisation has a better chance of weathering economic, geopolitical, and environmental challenges. That way, we can continue to look after our customers – and their financial plans.
