Moore will be supported by deputy chief risk officer Natalie Duncan, who has been working in the risk team for nine years, starting as risk support officer.

Moore said: “It is an absolute pleasure to return to Saffron Building Society. In the few years that I have been gone, the society has been making huge strides in its offering, from the quality and availability of mortgage products to improving service and a more customer-centric operation.

“I am delighted to get my feet back under the table and be on board as improvements continue at pace in the months and years to come.

Duncan added: “Being deputy deputy chief risk officer is an interesting job where you get to uncover and analyse every process and control across all areas of the business.

“I have learnt and gained an excellent understanding of processes.

“My new responsibilities are to support the chief risk officer in the effective and robust management of risk and compliance throughout the society, including adaptations and amendments to lending criteria and policy, which will further bolster our broker proposition throughout 2022 and beyond.”
