Market Harborough expands mortgage team, increasing broker support

06 May 2026

Complex case and bridging finance specialist Market Harborough Building Society has strengthened its broker-facing teams with two new specialist Business Development Managers, enhancing support for brokers nationwide.

Victoria Taricska is now on the road supporting brokers across South London and the South Coast as a field based BDM. Whilst Parveen Kumari-Reynolds has joined as a telephone BDM focusing on brokers in the North and Scotland, aligning with the Society’s recent launch into the Scottish market.

Iain Smith, head of mortgage distribution at Market Harborough, commented: “I’m delighted that Victoria and Parveen have joined our mortgage team. Between them, they bring over 40 years’ combined experience and a strong understanding of the challenges brokers face when placing more complex cases. Over the past 12 months, we’ve increased our team by 50%, reflecting our long-term commitment to brokers of maintaining personal, proactive service as demand for specialist lending continues to grow.”

“Our investment in broker support is guided by our Best for Brokers Promise, which we introduced in 2024 to set a clear standard for the service, accessibility and consistency brokers can expect from us. Expanding the team is just one step in our continued investment in broker support.”

The specialist lender’s approach to award-winning service has been recognised through three consecutive Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Awards, alongside the 2026 Exceptional Service Award.

The investment in broker support has also underpinned another year of strong financial results for Market Harborough, with the Society achieving a profit before tax of £3.6m. In 2025, the specialist lender increased new lending by 17%, and achieved mortgage book growth of £17m, contributing to 35% book growth over the last three years. The Society also reported an 18% uplift in its bridging finance lending.

Market Harborough is recognised for its flexible approach to simple and more complex mortgage cases up to £5m, including clients with non-standard income, unusual property types, multi generation/joint borrower sole proprietor, expats, borrowing into retirement and multi layered cases. The specialist lenders range of mortgages are tiered based on complexity, with solutions for larger loans, expats, holiday let and buy to let, and bridging finance.
