  • The Yorkshire Building Society is the second largest building society in the UK, with its headquarters in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. Assets now exceed £20 billion. In 1864, the Huddersfield Equitable Permanent Benefit Building Society was founded in Huddersfield and expansion through a series of agreed mergers, predominately with the Bradford Permanent Building Society in 1975, has seen it evolve into today's building society. The current name came into use in 1982, following the merger of the Huddersfield & Bradford Building Society and the West Yorkshire Building Society. The Yorkshire took over the London based Haywards Heath Building Society in December 1992 in an effort to develop a southern based branch network. In 2001 the Yorkshire took over the Gainsborough Building Society. In December 2008 the Yorkshire merged with the Barnsley Building Society who had become a victim of the Icelandic Banking Crisis. After learning lessons from previous mergers and the Barnsley being a larger organisation with an established brand the Yorkshire have decided to keep the Barnsley brand alive in order to keep excisting Barnsley customers and use it as another route to market for products. The Yorkshire has its own Guernsey based operation specilising in shares and off shore accounts and also has a subsidiary - the Mortgage company Accord. Despite changes in the industry in recent years, the Yorkshire remains as one of the major mutual building societies in Britain - a review in 1995 confirmed that their mutual status was important to them, so that they remain answerable to their members, rather than outside shareholders. The Yorkshire currently provides financial services both directly and through a 131-strong branch network and associated agencies across the UK. It is a member of the Building Societies Association.
