Newcastle Intermediaries grows BDM team
Newcastle Intermediaries has appointed three new Business Development Managers to support its growing mortgage business across the UK. Kate Welland, Oliver Smith and Judi Hancock join Francesco Di Pietro to complete a national team of four and is the culmination of a series of enhancements the lender has made throughout 2016.
Kate Welland joins Newcastle Intermediaries from Hinckley & Rugby Building Society to cover the Midlands region, while Oliver Smith was previously at Santander before making the move to cover the M25 and London region.
The South East will be covered by the newest appointment Judi Hancock, who brings over 30 years' experience in the industry, most recently with BM Solutions.
Francesco Di Pietro, who joined Newcastle Intermediaries in 2015, continues to cover the North and Scotland. He previously worked for nine years in various managerial roles within Newcastle Building Society.
Francesco says of the new appointments: "The team has some great complementary strengths and will work well together to help brokers grow their business and meet client needs using Newcastle Intermediaries' proposition.'
The team will work closely with Newcastle Intermediaries' panel of key distributor partners and their member firms to support the progress of new and existing applications, as well as provide guidance to brokers to help them find the right products to meet their customers' needs and ensure they receive the right service.
Steve Carruthers, Head of Mortgage Distribution at Newcastle Intermediaries' said: "We are delighted with the growth of our BDM team, which will increase the help and support we can provide to our intermediary partners and make it even easier for them to do business with us."
"Investing in the support for our intermediary relationships, as well as our service and systems has been a key priority for us in 2016. Our intermediary business continues to make exciting progress and we're fully committed to doing more going forward into 2017."
