Jo Trigg has been appointed as the new manager for the Stroud & Swindon Building Society in Chepstow.

She started working for the Society 12 years ago in the town and spent six years there before transferring to the Lydney branch. Her success there in advising customers on their mortgage, savings and other financial needs has now resulted in her promotion and return to Chepstow.

Jo lives locally and says she is looking forward to meeting many new and existing customers as well as expanding the society's links with the local community.

Established in 1850, Stroud & Swindon with assets in excess of £2.5 billion is the 15th largest of the 63 building societies in the UK.

It has a network of 22 branches throughout the South West supported by a number of agency offices.

It also has its own direct call centre based in Stroud and a team of business development managers supporting financial intermediaries.
