Birmingham Midshires

Birmingham Midshires has roots dating back to 1849 and is the result of an amalgamation of some 50 building societies including the Liverpool and Birmingham & Bridgwater Building Societies. The branch network is concentrated in the core areas of the West Midlands, North West and South West. The Wolverhampton head office also provides a range of post and telephone savings accounts and services.

In April 1999 Birmingham Midshires became part of the Halifax Group (and, since Halifax and Bank of Scotland merged in 2000 are now part of the HBOS Group), retaining its own brand, branches and product range whilst being able to draw on the considerable resource and market expertise of its parent.

Birmingham Midshires now provides a range of specialist lending, and savings products. It employs over 2000 people and has managed assets in excess of £20 billion. The Corporate Headquarters are based in Wolverhampton.
