A socially conscious bank founded nearly four decades ago has been named business of the year.
Unity Trust Bank won the top honour at last night's Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce Awards, having earlier been awarded the contribution to community category.
The bank, now headquartered in Brindleyplace in the city, was originally founded by trade unions in 1984 to serve the common good. Judges praised Unity Trust Bank's mission to "create a better society, delivering impact not simply maximising profits".
