YBS Commercial Mortgages has appointed Angela Norman as interim managing director.

Norman moves from her existing role as head of lending for YBS Commercial.

In this role, she has managed the lending teams, focusing on enhancing the support provided for portfolio landlords and owner-occupier businesses, and led the commercial lender’s growth plans.

Norman joined the business in June from Recognise Bank and joined with more than 25 years of experience in the industry.

She replaces Tom Simpson, who steps up into the role of interim chief commercial officer for Yorkshire Building Society.

Simpson’s remit will cover all brands including Yorkshire Building Society, Accord and YBS Commercial Mortgages.

Norman will be replaced as interim head of lending by Mike Davies, who is currently head of business development for YBS Commercial.

The appointment into the interim head of lending role will widen Mike’s remit, overseeing the business development and relationship teams.

Commenting on the announcement, Norman says: “I’m absolutely delighted to be given the opportunity to play an even bigger role in driving the YBS Commercial business forward. It’s an exciting point in our growth journey, and I’ve been blown away with the team’s determination and commitment to deliver for our brokers and customers.”
