Swansea Building Society has expanded its England mortgage business.

The society has strengthened its England team with the appointments of Eleanor Powell and Bethanie Evans as additional Managers’ assistants.

They join Martin Lewis, who leads the society’s England mortgage business, along with business development manager Jennet James, mortgage adviser Lisa Lunness, and mortgage adviser Alex Hemingway, providing day-to-day support to mortgage intermediaries.

During 2025, Swansea Building Society completed £45.5 million in gross mortgage lending in England, representing 38.7% of total gross lending for the year.

As of 31 December 2025, the value of the society’s mortgage book outside Wales stood at £208.2 million, accounting for 36.0% of total mortgage balances.

The society also reveals it is planning further investment in its England proposition.

Based on the actual volumes of new gross mortgage business written during the half year to 30 June 2026, Swansea Building Society is aiming to appoint an additional business development manager before the end of the year, further strengthening its intermediary support across England.

Swansea Building Society chief executive Alun Williams says: “Our continued growth in England sits alongside the strong performance we’ve delivered across our branch network in Wales and demonstrates the appeal of our relationship-based approach to mortgage lending.”

“By investing in our people and expanding our England team, we are ensuring that brokers and their customers continue to benefit from local decision-making, personal service and a common-sense approach to lending as demand for mortgages continues to evolve.”
