Win a Taste of Brecon

Visit our new Brecon Branch between the 1st and 25th September and you could win a taste of Brecon.

To celebrate the Society’s new premises on The Bulwark, our Brecon colleagues have created a locally sourced hamper to showcase the best of Brecon produce.

Brecon’s Branch Manager Zoe Mathias commented, ‘We are so happy to have settled into our new home and we wanted to celebrate our love and support for the town by bringing together some of the finest produce made and sold locally. Anyone who visits the new branch between 1st and 25th September can take a raffle ticket and be in with a chance of winning the whole hamper.’  

By investing in the town of Brecon with a new, modern looking branch, the Society is upholding its commitment to increasing its presence on the high street by opening not closing branches. The Society took over a lease formerly occupied by the Leeds Building Society back in January 2021 before settling in to the new premises at 6b The Bulwalk, Brecon.

‘This is an exciting time for the Society as we emerge from the pandemic in a stronger position than we were just over 12 months ago,’ said the Society’s Chief Executive, Will Carroll. ‘Our strategy is driven by the needs of our members and while there is a strong appetite to develop our digital network and capabilities, members also want to be able to interact with us on a human level. Our approach is enabling us to do both.’

The team moved into the new branch on the 23rd August and will be taking a few weeks to settle in before hosting their opening celebrations on the 27th September 2021* when they will also draw the winner of the raffle. Terms and Conditions apply.
