The UK’s second largest building society, which has more than 2,500 employees, was also named as the Best Big Company to work for in the Midlands.

Lucy Becque, HR director at Coventry Building Society, said: “We are thrilled to be named one of the very best companies to work for. As these awards are based on a survey of all employees, there’s no better measure of how great it is to work for Coventry Building Society.

“We’ve seen that when our people enjoy what they do, they consistently deliver great results and it’s no coincidence that our customer service is second to none.

“Sharing a common set of values with your colleagues and your employer can be a powerful bond. We are focused on doing the right thing for our two million members – that strikes a chord with people who work here and with people who want to work here… it’s quite popular with our members too!”
