Keith Barber, director of business development at the Family Building Society, said: "2017 has been our most successful year ever. It is proof, if ever proof were needed, that our investment in people, technology and communications is delivering the service and products that intermediaries need to solve their clients’ real world borrowing issues.
"The move to one brand late last year has been very well received by intermediaries and this, along with the continued improvements we make at all levels of our business in response to intermediary need, has rewarded the Society with record breaking lending."
