Former Coventry Building Society business development manager Richard Goodman has joined Nottingham Building Society.

Goodman will take up the role of BDM in the East Midlands, replacing Amanda Miller, who has moved to a role helping advisers in the London area. 

In further new appointments at The Nottingham, John Eastgate was last week announced as the lender’s new chief lending officer, joining from Shawbrook Bank.

Goodman also previously worked for HSBC, Lloyds Group and RBS.

He says: “I’m thrilled to be here and looking forward to building and growing great working relationships with brokers across the East Midlands. 

“It’s a challenge that really appeals, not least because the society has shown such ambition recently to deliver several positive additions to its products and services. 

“Those include the introduction of soft searches at DIP, product transfers via brokers and criteria enhancements to support buy-to-let and limited company BTL lending. 

“I’ve always stuck by a principle of doing the right thing by people and it is clear to me that The Nottingham shares that ethos. It’s an exciting time to be here.” 

Miller says her new London-based position is “an exciting challenge.”

“Hopefully my knowledge and expertise will play a key role in supporting London brokers and informing them about our products, services and #BuiltAroundBrokers ethos.”
