7th November 2024
Find out more about our Poynton branch re-opening event.
Some of the Vernon gang gathered to celebrate at our newly refurbished Poynton branch on the 6th of November 2024. Seeing our members, colleagues, local contractors, businesses, and our favourite Vernon Bear coming together for this special occasion was wonderful.
Our ties with Poynton run deep, we have a long-standing sponsorship with the Poynton Brass Band dating back over 35 years, which makes sure the band continues to delight audiences throughout the UK.
We have also provided funding for dementia group, Poynton Golden Memories, and Poynton Pedals for All, which provide inclusive and accessible cycling facilities.
You can find our refurbished branch at 87 Park Lane, Poynton, Stockport, Cheshire East, SK12 1RD.

Our CEO, Steve Fletcher, said:
“As the only remaining high street branch in Poynton, it was especially important for us to be able to offer face-to-face banking services in a great environment. Whether Members want to deposit a cheque, receive mortgage advice, or discuss their online banking, we have a friendly team offering an expert service and now in new modernised premises.
“We’ve been in Poynton since 1971 and in the current building for 13 years so we’ve got to know people in the town really well, through them coming into the branch and through our sponsorship and funding initiatives. Poynton is a town close to our hearts and we’re proud to be serving it."
As with our recent branch refurbishments in Reddish, Hazel Grove, St Petersgate in Stockport, and Bramhall, our branch was designed by Standing Space, and work was carried out by local contractors Monks Morton Design Interiors, Flexible Office and Sharp.
Our refurbished Poynton branch has a contemporary interior with a modern-looking but traditional counter service, two interview rooms to ensure a better experience for our Members and colleagues, open plan booths for Members to receive face-to-face support, and a customer seating area.
A big thank you to Pete Adamson, who supplied the photography for our large window etchings, showing off some recognisable areas around Poynton!
Our final branch to be refurbished is Marple, keep your eyes peeled for updates on its progress. By supporting your local building society, you're supporting local causes. Together, we're greater.
