A new look for the Autumn 14 / 10 / 2011

LEEK United's old-style branch office in Derby Street, Leek will complete an ‘overnight transformation' to unveil its new-look for the Autumn this week...

The branch closes its doors at 4.45pm on Thursday (6th October) - to be ‘replaced' by new-look premises when staff open again at 9.15am the next morning (7th October).

It has undergone refurbishment inside and out, as part of a rolling programme of upgrades throughout the Society's branch network in Staffordshire, Cheshire, Derbyshire and Shropshire.

Externally, a facelift has brought the branch neatly into line with the Society's recent subtle new corporate identity. Leek United has worked closely with local authority officials to ensure that the new fascia - in a brighter shade of green - is in keeping with the town's conservation area.

Meanwhile, new furnishing inside completes what Branch Manager Sheila Kirk hopes will be an enhanced customer experience for members.

"We hope people like our ‘new look' for the Autumn," she said. "It's been very much ‘business as usual' during the refurbishment, but we would still like to thank everyone for bearing with us while the work has been going on."

The Leek Derby Street team will be welcoming visitors to the branch with refreshments and nibbles throughout the working day on Friday. Theirs is the last branch to undergo a facelift under the Leek United refurbishment programme.
