Dudley Building Society has appointed Gordon Rae as its intermediary relationship manager.
He has been hired to spearhead the development of business through key introducers.
Rae spent the three years developing business for bridging lenders Cheval and Tiuta, and was previously national sales Mmnager at GMAC RFC.
He said he was excited with the challenge at the Dudley.
“They have a very clear plan for developing their mortgage business and see the intermediary sector as the crucial area they need to develop,” he said.
“The breadth of their offering will surprise a lot of people, but their commitment to great service on the back of tried and tested human underwriting is part of the DNA of a mutual lender which has served its local market so well for so long.”
Jeremy Wood, chief executive of the mutual, added: “Having Gordon join our team is a real plus for us. Gordon has a great track record in the intermediary market and his knowledge and connections will be of tremendous value to us.
“Dudley Building Society is committed to the broker community and along with our investment in new IT systems, we shall be proactively developing products to meet the changing needs of the broker partnerships for which Gordon will be responsible.”
