Caldicott commented: “As Principality’s first dedicated BDM for the East Midlands, I am looking forward to getting out and about and building trusted long-term relationships with our broker partners.

“I’m excited to join the team as we grow our intermediary proposition to be best in class across England.”

Frances Hayter, national account manager at Principality, added: “Thanks to a focused growth strategy, our intermediaries arm is expanding, allowing us to target key markets across the UK.

Platform, the intermediary mortgage brand of the Cooperative Bank has expanded its service team to support broker partners.

The 14 new roles are spread with five on the BDM team, three on the telephony based team, five positions added to the mortgage desk, and a further position appointed in the corporate service team.

On top of the existing 30 staff, the latest expansion bumped the total support crew to 44 people.

Neil Wyatt, head of intermediary distribution at the Cooperative Bank, commented: “We plan to increase our broker customer base throughout 2018 with increased levels of telephony and field based activity while maintaining the high levels of customer satisfaction our existing intermediary firms are receiving.”
