Suffolk Building Society has appointed Beth Hillman to the newly-created role of business development manager for central London.   

Hillman has worked in the mortgage industry for seven years, most recently as a mortgage and protection adviser.   

In this new role, she will be responsible for developing new and existing relationships with intermediaries and will report to Suffolk Building Society’s head of intermediary relations and mortgage sales, Charlotte Grimshaw.  

However, the mutual adds that firms identified as key accounts will continue to be managed by the society’s key account manager, Andrew Sadler, even if based in central London. Sadler will also continue to be the main point of contact for mortgage clubs and networks.  

Hillman says she looks forward to expanding the mutual’s reach in central London.   

She adds: “By providing pre-decision-in-principal approvals, manual underwriting and direct access to underwriters, brokers can rely on the Suffolk team to help them shape cases and proactively advance applications.”
