A life time of help and support

5
I've been with the Newbury for c25years. They have supported me and my family through multiple re-mortgages, buying a boat, moving house. They have always been helpful supportive and competitive suggesting various products which are cheaper and more appropriate to my needs. I no longer look at the competition as the trust and confidence I have in the Newbury gives me the peace of mind that I have the right product and support. Over the 25 years I have dealt with many Newbury advisors and they all work in the same way being supportive helpful and acting with integrity. This is a testament not only to the leadership but to the culture of the organisation which has stayed true to its values even in difficult financial times. Well done guys, thanks for your continued support and good luck. Craig Rogers- Reviewed on: 4th January 2018

Every time I contact Newbury they go above and beyond to help offer their knowledgeable advice. No one else offers such a personal touch where you a person not just an account number.

I have now been with Newbury BS for the last 5 years. The company is without doubt the most efficient, user friendly and internet easy firm I have ever dealt with. NBS combines old fashioned service with modern technology, a perfect combination for someone of advancing years such as myself. Reviewed on: 4th January 2018
