Four will be joining as phone-based BDMs and two field-based. They will be beginning their new roles in the next few weeks.
The four new recruits to the phone-based BDM team are Catherine Mattam, Tom Southwell, Cheryl Jones and Hannah Buckenham; and the two new field BDMs are James Chutter and Gerard Mills.
Mark Bullard (pictured), head of sales at NatWest Intermediary Solutions, said: “I am delighted that we have been able to add six more talented BDMs to our team. Being on the frontline, our award-winning BDMs have established a reputation for being proactive, knowledgeable and helpful. We regularly engage with intermediaries to get their feedback on our service and our BDMs are consistently singled out for the excellent level of support they provide.
“We are committed to maintaining a first class service and have invested further this year in our LiveTALK instant messaging platform and the creation of a BDM support team to help free up our BDMs so that they can spend more time with each individual broker they deal with. I am sure that our latest BDM recruits will make a huge impact with their panels and continue to build our reputation as a key mainstream intermediary mortgage lender.”
The recruitment drive is further evidence of increased competition in the mortgage market. Earlier this month Natwest cut rates on more than 30 mortgage products including five-year fixed rates and Help To Buy 2 deals.
