Priding itself on being a great place to work, Marsden Building Society has over 100 colleagues across its branch network and Principal Office. An organisation with a family feel, its core values make it a happy and supportive place to work.

An inclusive employer, all managers are enrolled on an equality and diversity development programme delivered by Hempsons. The society’s policies ensure equal treatment of all and is proud to support diversity and inclusion throughout its workforce.

Following the results of its last survey, Marsden placed focus on personal growth, partnering up with Future Lives to develop a bespoke development programme open to all employees hoping to progress within the organisation. External training was also provided for the Senior Management Team, including the opportunity for a professional coaching session. This training covered everything from self-awareness and how to be a trustworthy leader, to handling difficult conversations and SMART development.

Dating back to 1860, Marsden Building Society started life as The Great and Little Marsden Permanent Benefit Building Society in Nelson, Lancashire. Now the largest Lancashire-based building society, the Marsden continues to grow, supporting its members with savings, mortgages and more. Being a mutual building society means the Marsden is run for the benefit of its members and not for the benefit of shareholders. The profit made is re-invested so the Society can continue to grow, improve its product offering and deliver first-class customer service.
