Chief Financial Officer Excited To Be Joining Beverley Building Society
East Yorkshire’s best-kept secret has long been its ethos of common-sense lending in an era of computer-aided decision-making.
With this strategy, Beverley Building Society attracts loyal and also increasingly diverse customers. These include those who do not meet the standard – and increasingly challenging – mortgage criteria.
There are a variety of mortgage options available to you with us, including first-time buyer lending, self-employment lending, family support, mortgages for older borrowers, and mortgages for unusual properties.
Christopher said:
“I am really excited to be joining the Beverley and am looking forward to leading the Society’s Finance Department.”
“A really important part of the Society’s next phase of development is growing its membership and mortgage book.”
“I look forward to helping its team achieve this in line with its mutual principles and founding purpose of Building Better Futures.”
