themarsden.co.uk About us
Marsden Building Society has supported members since 1860 with savings, mortgage and insurance products. We reinvest profits to benefit our members, colleagues and communities. With more than 125 colleagues across branches and specialist teams, we’re committed to delivering exceptional service and building a stronger future for the people we serve.
Our achievements
We continue to demonstrate growth, and a sense of social purpose. We’re a Real Living Wage and Real Living Pension employer and have grown our workforce by 20 per cent in the last three years. We’re investing in future talent and building a sustainable organisation for generations to come. Our Volunteering Policy allows colleagues to take paid leave to support local causes, our Charitable Foundation helps fund Lancashire projects, and we help employers promote financial well-being through our Workplace Savings scheme.
What it would mean to win
It would celebrate the dedication of our colleagues and reaffirm the strength of our purpose-led approach. It would reinforce our ambition to be a leading Lancashire employer and inspire future talent who share our values.

npd.studio About us
We’re an award-winning Product Design & Development studio bringing complex product innovation to market. We work on projects we believe should exist across a range of sectors from consumer to industrial. We design with purpose and provide an end-to-end service to our clients, supporting from initial concept through to prototype, manufacture and marketing.
Our achievements
We reject 90 per cent of projects because we’re selective about what we work on. That approach – choosing only products that deserve to exist – drives everything we do. We’ve grown as a business but not through luck – through commitment, hard work, investment, getting things wrong, and learning from them. We’re proud of what we do, the people in our agency who are growing with us, and being a business that supports local supply chains, creates quality jobs, and builds a sustainable innovation pipeline for the region.
What it would mean to win
It would mean so much to all of our team. It would validate what we all believe in – that product innovation worth backing is worth being selective about. Recognition would mean we’re on the right path, and it would give us the confidence to keep building products that deserve to exist.

Our achievements
Our people and the trust our customers place in us.

We’ve continued to invest in our people, our capabilities and our services, while staying grounded in what matters most: doing the right thing for our customers, day in, day out. Without our people there would be no Seriun.
What it would mean to win
It would mean everything. Going through the process has already made us reflect on how much we’ve evolved over the last 12 months and how far we’ve come. Winning would be a real recognition of that progress – and a reminder that there’s still plenty more to achieve.
