Saffron Building Society Comes to Buntingford's Rescue!
Saffron Building Society today announces plans to offer its services to the people of Buntingford at the local business of Burton Associates.
The new Saffron agency at Burton Associates will commence at the start of 2011, to enable people in Buntingford and the surrounding villages to benefit from the services offered by the regional mutual.
Saffron's Sales and Marketing Director John Eastgate said:
"At Saffron Building Society we fully understand how crucial our branch and agency network is to local communities. Offering a face-to-face service is an absolutely essential part of being a local building society. As a business owned by its members, our duty is to offer them the chance to deal with us in the way that suits them best and by talking to people, we are far better equipped to understand their needs; and meeting these lies at the heart of mutuality.
"We have been supporting communities in the East of England for over 160 years - Saffron is safe, secure and here to stay! We work to reward loyal customers by offering access to higher savings rates and cashback on our mortgages, and we also extend these benefits to the families of our customers. We are very pleased to be launching our partnership with Burton Associates to bring consistent, competitive financial services back to the people of Buntingford."
Christian Draper, Retail Operations Manager of Saffron Building Society said:
"As a Buntingford resident I experienced first hand the determination of the town to retain a Building Society agency and I'm delighted that we could step in and offer the services of a regional mutual which has a long history of looking after families in our area."
Karen Burton at Burton Associates said:
"Many may be familiar with Saffron's nearest branches in Royston and Ware. We are looking forward to offering Saffron's products and services to the people of Buntingford and the surrounding area delivered by friendly, professional staff".
