Despite the uncertain economic and political landscape, the Society reports a profitable year in 2018.

We ended the year with a £15m increase in mortgage assets, an increase in retail savings balances of £5m and achieved a healthy profit of £3.3m (before tax).

While many banks and financial providers continue to announce high street closures, the Society has invested in its branches with the refurbishment of its Woodbridge premises and the opening of a new flagship branch in Ipswich town centre.
