More than 1,000 Travis Perkins colleagues are now members, just over a year since we launched the partnership in 2024.
The collaboration was designed to enhance financial wellbeing support for Travis Perkins' workforce across the UK. Growing from over 300 initial members to more than 1,000 demonstrates the strong demand for responsible financial services that help employees build long-term financial resilience.
Since the partnership began, Travis Perkins colleagues have engaged with our workshops and webinars, with many using us to build their savings through payroll deduction and access affordable loans. Our approach to responsible lending has proven particularly popular, offering an alternative to high-cost credit while helping members develop stronger credit ratings.
Matt Goulding, our CEO, said: "We're thrilled to see this partnership flourishing. Having over 1,000 Travis Perkins colleagues as Commsave members is a testament to both the quality of support we offer and Travis Perkins' genuine commitment to their workforce.
"This milestone reflects a growing recognition that people want financial services that align with their values—transparent, member-focused rather than profit-driven. We're proud to be working alongside Travis Perkins to help their colleagues achieve greater financial confidence and stability."
Speaking last year at the partnership launch, Paul Williams, Head of Financial Wellbeing at Travis Perkins, said: “With cost-of-living pressures continuing to bite, the financial wellbeing benefits we offer are there to make sure our colleagues’ incomes go further, and to help ensure we attract and retain the best talent.
“This partnership with Commsave gives colleagues access to more sustainable and affordable loans and savings options and helps to build their financial resilience by developing their credit rating from day one. We have found in Commsave a credit union whose core objective is 'people helping people' which aligns well with our own values and purpose to build better communities.”
