The Hinckley & Rugby Building Society is a building society based in Hinckley, Leicestershire, UK, with origins dating back to 1861. == Origins == The Hinckley & Rugby Building Society's history dates back to 1861 when the Rugby Provident Building Society was founded.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hrbs.co.uk/about-us/ )〕 Much of the Rugby's history was lost when it was merged with its Hinckley counterpart in 1983. However, the same is not true of the organisation originally known as the Hinckley Freehold Land and Permanent Building Society. The Society opened for business in November 1865, when it was resolved that Thomas Kiddle would become manager and would run the Society from his draper’s shop in Castle Street, Hinckley. The society changed its name to The Hinckley Permanent Building Society in 1907 and, throughout the first half of the century, the management of the society continued to be a family affair. George Kiddle took over the reins from his father Thomas in 1907, being succeeded by Harold, his brother and the youngest son of Thomas, in 1923, when he became joint manager with Mr F G Brise. Harold retired from the position of manager in 1946 and his son Geoffrey Oliver Kiddle took his place. By this time, assets had grown to £878,801. Geoffrey saw a real need for modernization, including the introduction of calculating machines and a new regime of more modern practices. By 1950 assets had exceeded £1,000,000 for the first time and, in 1959, Geoffrey Kiddle moved on to pastures new ending the Kiddle family’s almost century-long association with the Society. A new manager, Eric Faulkner, succeeded him. During the 1960s further developments were made, such as the introduction of an automatic addressing system to help cater for extra administration. The Society’s first proper branch opened in 1964 in Friar Lane, Leicester, swiftly followed by further branches in South Wigston and Barlestone. 1965 was a special year for the Society, as it celebrated its centenary and, a year later, total assets passed the £7million mark for the first time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hinckley and Rugby Building Society」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
