With no outside shareholders to account to, Darlington Building Society nonetheless makes itself accountable to its employees and the communities in which they live. All dividends are used to benefit members of the mutual organisation, named after the Co Durham town in which it was founded in 1856.
The society is committed to working for the benefit of its people and region. It supports employment at its nine branches across the Northeast, including the Tees Valley, North Yorkshire and Co Durham. It also runs 'Darlingtonline', its online banking service.
A Darlington pledge is to annually share 5% of net profits after tax and it offers various career prospects, too – the latter being a key objective in the development of its people.
The Society has always had a strong family culture and as working remotely has become the norm, it has continued to invest in improving its ability to communicate with colleagues. The Society hosts a quarterly 'Breakfast with the Exec' and 'Lunch with the Board' to allow colleagues an open forum with the CEO and senior leaders. Here they can put forward their ideas and thoughts on how the organisation is doing on all matters relating to both its members, as well as internally for employees.
