Buckinghamshire Building Society is celebrating after winning two awards at a prestigious award ceremony held last night. At the Mortgage Finance Gazette Awards, held at The Royal College of Physicians in London, the Society walked away with the awards for Best Local Building Society and Mortgage Product Innovation.

Introducing Gerard O'Keeffe as the new Chief Executive Officer

Robin Bailey Chairman of the Buckinghamshire Building Society  “We are delighted to have Gerard O’Keeffe joining us. He has over 30 years experience in financial services including 16 years at AIB in the UK in various positions, latterly as Head of Allied Irish Banks (GB), which included the retail, commercial and corporate banks. “Gerard is joining us at an exciting time for the Society. We believe he will bring a new perspective to our business, and with his wealth of experience he and the team will take the Society to the next phase of its growth.”

Buckinghamshire Building Society recently donated a £1000 to adopt a Dial-a-Ride bus. The Society recognises that not everyone in the community has access to transport and how important it is for the elderly and vulnerable to be able to get out and about and be able to meet people or attend appointments. 

We were impressed with Dial-a-Ride’s commitment to providing affordable transport to those who are unable to use more traditional services.  By providing these funds it allows Dial-a-Ride to maintain a van and continue offering this valuable service.
