Nottingham Building Society has announced a series of promotions across its intermediary sales team ahead of bringing new specialist residential lending products and propositions to the market.
The changes have been designed to further strengthen support across the Society's clubs, networks, and key account relationships, while Beckie Morton, who is part of the sales senior leadership team, temporarily takes on an increased strategic focus supporting planning for the Society's evolving proposition.
Leading the changes across the team, Samantha Watts (pictured) has been appointed to a six-month secondment as national account manager, working alongside Beckie to support strategic broker relationships and help drive delivery of the lender's priorities across its intermediary channel.
An experienced field BDM, Samantha has supported brokers across the South West since 2022. As part of the transition, Amirah Alyaus will become the named contact for the region, providing continuity of support for brokers.
In addition, Ami Cammack has been promoted into a field-based BDM role, having spent over a year in the Society’s telephony team. Her new role will see her lead the growth and development of the Central region and marks her fourth promotion since joining Nottingham Building Society in 2023.
Elsewhere, Lucy Smith has been promoted from intermediary support officer to telephone BDM, supporting brokers across the London region, while Rachel Bridle returns to the sales team following maternity leave.
Matt Kingston, sales director at Nottingham Building Society, said: "We are entering an important next phase for Nottingham Building Society as we continue to build a mortgage proposition that reflects the realities of today’s market and the changing needs of borrowers.
"Over the past year, we have been strengthening the foundations across our intermediary business, from the way we support brokers to the products and propositions we are preparing to bring forward. These changes are about making sure we have the right structure, focus, and expertise in place to deliver our plans with confidence.
"There is more to come from us in the second half of the year as we continue to develop specialist residential lending solutions designed to support customers whose circumstances may not fit traditional lending models. Strengthening our sales leadership and account management capability is an important part of setting the Society up for future success."
Jennifer Curry, national sales manager, commented: "These appointments are a real reflection of the talent, ambition, and commitment we have across the intermediary sales team. It is incredibly rewarding to see colleagues stepping into new opportunities, broadening their experience and helping shape the next stage of our growth.
"Samantha has made a significant impact since joining Nottingham Building Society, building trusted relationships with brokers across the South West and consistently demonstrating the energy, professionalism, and customer focus we value as a team. Her move into a national account manager role is a fantastic opportunity for her to bring that experience to some of our most important strategic relationships.
"I am proud of the way the team continues to grow from within. These promotions show the opportunities available across the Society and the importance we place on developing our people. With Samantha, Ami, and Lucy taking on new responsibilities, and Rachel returning to the team, there is a real sense of momentum and excitement about what we can achieve together."
