Fordham’s appointment follows Jeremy Duncombe’s appointment in July as head of field sales.
He said: “I look forward to joining Abbey for Intermediaries and building upon our strength and consistency to become not only the biggest brand supporting intermediaries but also the intermediary lender of choice.”
He added: “Our number one focus continues to be improving service to make it as easy as possible for intermediaries to place their business with us.”
Fordham has previously worked for Alliance & Leicester and Santander for 15 years. Most recently, he worked as a performance director for the retail mortgage division.
Alan Mathewson, managing director of Abbey for Intermediaries, said: “Brad will also be leading the wider service agenda and building on the progress we have made in improving our service levels over the past few months.”
Fordham is set to start his new role from 1 November, taking over from Sue Carvell.
