Turner was most recently at Marsden Building Society and has a background in account management and new sales development.

She said: “I am delighted to join Harpenden in the role of business development manager.

“I have a passion for delivering positive outcomes and look forward to introducing brokers and their customers to the competitive mortgage products the society has become renowned for in the specialist lending sector.

“Never before has it been more important for brokers to integrate effective mortgage solutions that can accommodate the rapidly changing needs of an increasingly sophisticated customer base. Harpenden’s range of products and the methodology the society adopts with regard to manual underwriting gives a strong option for brokers wanting to secure more business.”

Craig Middleton, mortgage sales manager at Harpenden Building Society, added: We are delighted to welcome Jacqui to our sales team.

“We have a growing reputation with brokers based in northern regions so her experience, ‘can do’ mind set, and technical expertise will further strengthen our ability to deliver market-leading mortgage products to customers throughout England and Wales.”
