Harpenden Building Society has celebrated its 70th anniversary.
In 1953, a group of local business people came together to establish the society, with the belief that the community deserved support to be able to buy local homes and to save for their future.
This vision remains the foundation of the society and this year they will celebrate their 70th Anniversary.

To celebrate their landmark achievement, they have committed to achieving over 70 hours of employees volunteering across the year.
With branches in Harpenden, Radlett, Leighton Buzzard and Tring, the society will be providing support across different locations.
They also have a number of internal events and celebrations planned throughout the year.
Richard Doe, Harpenden Building Society’s CEO, said: “We are delighted to mark and celebrate our 70th anniversary this year. We believe we stand for the same principles and foundations that were vital during our inception back in March 1953.
"Our commitment to our members and our local community remains as strong as ever and we are proud of our history of supporting our community – this will continue for many years to come.
"We also want to recognise and celebrate our employees and colleagues both in branch and within our head office and we plan to do this throughout the year.”
