Principality Building Society has opened its doors in a new location in Hereford to increase its services to members and customers in the area. Principality has moved from Peters Square to Alban House, 18 High Town. The prime location in the centre of the cathedral city was acquired for Principality by Cooke & Arkwright’s Retail & Leisure agency.

The new branch occupies one of two retail premises on the ground floor of the recently restored Alban House in High Town, the main shopping thoroughfare in Hereford city centre.

Shaun Middleton, Head of Distribution at Principality Building Society said. “We’re pleased to announce our Hereford branch has moved to the central location of 18 High Town. The relocation has allowed us to offer increased space and services to support our members in Hereford and the surrounding area, including a mortgage advisor. We look forward to welcoming members in a safe way and continuing to support the local community in the coming year.’’

Huw Thomas, Director with Cooke & Arkwright added, “This 100% prime city centre location is three times the size of Principality’s former premises in St Peters Square, a secondary location nearby. The unit in Alban House also benefits from being completely new as the building has been fully redeveloped, retaining its Grade II listed façade, following a fire a few years ago.”

Principality is the UK’s sixth largest building society with over half-a-million members and was founded in Cardiff over 160 years ago.

Cooke & Arkwright have been providing Newport City Council with rating advice for over 20 years. Andrew, Jane and Huw provide a personal and professional service and have an excellent knowledge of the Council’s assets which has enabled the Council to achieve substantial rate savings. A useful service offered is the status report which provides us with a snapshot of what appeals have been made and appeals outstanding throughout the life of the List. I would recommend Cooke & Arkwright Rating Services to any company wishing to procure up-to-date and professional rating advice.
