We're adding to our trophy cabinet! Last night, we brought home the Best Company Culture 1000+ Award at the UK Employee Experience Awards 2025, along with a silver for Best Employee Engagement. We’re so proud of this achievement, and we're just as proud of our amazing people for making winning awards like this possible.
We've scored a hat-trick! Best Bank Mortgage Provider and Best Remortgage Provider for the third year running at the 2025 Moneyfacts Awards. Winning awards like this wouldn't be possible without the hard work and dedication from everyone in our Mortgages teams. Thanks for being awesome.
We're proud to be sponsoring Leeds Pride for the 10th year running. It’s all about standing up for inclusion, visibility, and equality. We can’t wait to see you in July. #PrideMonth
What a night. Six wins, two silvers, and one very proud team. We’re absolutely chuffed to come away from the UKCCA with our arms (and hearts) full. Recognition like this means the world — but truthfully, it’s all down to our people. The ones who show up every day, go above and beyond, and keep our customers at the heart of everything. #UKCompanyCultureAwards
Here at fd, we know that menopause is more than just a women’s issue: it can affect families, friends and loved ones too. That’s why this #WorldMenopauseDay we encouraged our people to learn more about the menopause, talk openly about it, and understand how they can play their part in supporting those who may need it. We’d love it if you could show your support too and help us break down the taboo surrounding something that affects many of us at some stage.
