The new branch will have a team of eight experienced staff, including two fully qualified mortgage advisers and a Legal & General financial adviser. The new office will provide a bright and modern environment for local people to conduct their financial business, with three private interview areas and full disabled access.

Iain Cornish, CEO of Yorkshire, said: We recognized that many of our members value face to face service and we are therefore delighted to be expanding our branch network into Oldham. We already have more than 5,000 members living in the Oldham area so the town was an ideal choice for branch expansion. This is the third new branch we have opened this year and we’ve also expanded our high street presence with four new agencies.
