PR Manager Keighley, England
Job description
PR Manager
Our impact isn't just about profit. It's about the change we make to the environment and communities in the UK. We create exciting new products that empower our members to be a part of this change. So far this year we've partnered with leading modular manufactures to launch a new mortgage. This is a UK first in the mortgage market and will help our members to create their own energy-efficient off-site build.
Last year we launched our 2030 strategy. This ambitious approach sets us up to succeed and thrive in the future. It guides us in being a purpose-led business whilst being aware of the growing tide of greenwash. You can read more about this on our website here.
