Skipton hires TBDM
Skipton Building Society has appointed Emma Wilkinson as telephone business development manager (BDM) and promoted Amana Mandzuik into the newly created role of criteria systems specialist.
Wilkinson joined from Skipton’s direct mortgage team and will work with firms in the South West region.
Mandzuik will maintain and update the mutual’s criteria across both internal systems and in collaboration with its external partners.
The mutual said it will make more appointments for field BDMs to cover London and the Northern regions.
Wilkinson said: “I am really excited to join the BDM team and can’t wait to start building relationships and supporting brokers.”
Paul Fenn, Skipton’s head of business development, said Wilkinson’s appointment was an example of how Skipton is determined to support brokers.
He said: “At Skipton we’re in growth mode right now. We’re increasing our BDM team and continuing with our aspiration to become a top 10 lender. We’ve also created a new role designed to make sure criteria and policy change is up to date, accurate and more dynamic as we exit the world of Covid.
“We’ve invested a lot in tech over last two or three years, too. Automated valuation models, auto ID and electronic income verification to name but a few. And we’ll continue to invest and improve in our technology, so it helps to streamline what we need from the adviser and complements our BDM relationships.”
