CUSTOMERS and workers arriving at Nationwide in Swindon this month can be forgiven for thinking the company in Piper's Way has been converted into a garden centre.

The building has just been decorated with a giant butterfly, bee and a 35-foot high flower.

The concept has been taken from Nationwide's first sustainability report, Help Us Build a Better Society, and is being used to publicise its launch.

Andrew Litchfield, head of community relations, said: "These images are a physical reminder of our ongoing commitment to sustainability."

The display and an exhibition in the building, will be re-used at Nationwide's administration centre in Northampton and branches through the UK over the coming months.
