Suffolk Building Society has appointed Ryan Forde (pictured above) as telephone BDM for Wales and the South West.
Ryan, previously a mortgage broker with over five years of client-side experience, has worked on standard, specialist (expat and holiday let) and heavy adverse cases.
In his new role, Ryan will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with intermediaries in south Wales, the M4 Corridor and the South West of England.
He will report to head of intermediaries Charlotte Grimshaw.
Charlotte commented: “With a strong background as a mortgage broker, Ryan brings valuable experience and insight into what intermediaries need from a lender.
“His experience on the front line means he understands the challenges brokers face and is well placed to provide focused support.”
Commenting on his new role, Ryan said: “I’m looking forward to meeting brokers in my area and helping them with complex cases.
“I’m looking forward to supporting brokers with cases both within and just outside of our acceptance criteria, working with them to shape cases that make sense, and to be that go-to lender for cases that don’t fit the high-street mould.”
