Christie Cook, former head of mortgages at Nottingham Building Society, has joined Hodge Bank as its managing director of retail.
Cook has extensive experience in the mortgage market, having also worked at Glenhawk Financial Services as head of product, at the Bank of Ireland in the role of head of product and pricing as well as stints at Kensington Mortgages and Lehmans.
At Hodge, Cook will be overseeing the mortgages and savings activities including product, distribution, marketing, customer origination, underwriting and first line risk issues.
Cook (pictured) said she was excited to be joining Hodge at what was a “key period of development within the organisation, and at such a crucial time for the financial services industry as a whole”.
She added: “I’m also delighted to be back in Wales and working with such a well-respected organisation based in the heart of the Welsh capital, as one so synonymous with the financial services heritage of my homeland.”
“In return, I’ll be looking to draw on the experience I have built up within the banking sector to date to further support Hodge as it continues on its current trajectory both commercially and culturally speaking.”
