Saffron Walden: 24th August 2022

Saffron Building Society is pleased to announce the appointment of experienced mortgage professional Lee Williams, as their latest hire to grow the BDM and support team at the mutual.

Lee joins Saffron with experience as a broker, in mortgage sales within a lender and most recently made his name as a business development manager at award winning mortgage and protection network, Stonebridge Group.

Lee’s appointment is the latest investment as part of the society’s Intermediar-ease initiative, which has the primary focus on improving service and making is easier for brokers to work with the mutual. Following two key appointments to the team already this year, Lee will join the experienced regional team with immediate effect, providing top level service and support to existing and new broker customers.

Tony Hall, Head of Mortgage Sales at Saffron, says of the appointment:

"Lee is a great new addition to the team. He is a well-respected BDM in his own right, and his knowledge and experience will only enhance our offering to brokers. I am always keen to add a diverse knowledge base into the team, and Lee’s recent experience working with various lenders gives him a unique insight into the market – whilst also understanding the needs of brokers. With the current level of business and the increasing number of borrowers looking to remortgage or move home, it is essential that we have a support team that brokers can rely on."

Lee joined the Saffron for Intermediaries team on Monday 22nd August and will be its latest regional BDM, supporting brokers in the South, Southwest and South Wales.

Lee Williams commented on his appointment:

“It was an easy decision to join Saffron Building Society as I was keen to work for a specialist lender where I can add value to brokers and firms. Saffron has an exciting borrowing proposition to support the needs of existing and aspiring homeowners, but it is also the way they commit to making it easy to borrow with Saffron - as a broker - that attracted me to the role. The business development team are front and centre in adding value to brokers and work together to achieve fantastic customer journeys and outcomes. I am excited to get out and about, seeing advisors and firms and discuss where Saffron Building Society’s proposition can help your customers and your businesses. I can't wait to get stuck in and build on my existing relationships and of course developing new ones, too.”
