Stuart Bryce has joined Beverley Building Society as its head of new business.

Bryce (pictured) has worked in the mortgage sector all his career, including more than 20 years as a broker. He joins the Beverley after a period with the Chorley Building Society, where he led business development.

In his new role, he will lead the drive to expand the Society’s intermediary business even further, supported by a dedicated business development team.

Bryce said: “I’m excited to embrace this new career challenge and work closely with the team at the Beverley to build on the fantastic reputation it already has for innovative mortgage products and bespoke service.

“We have some exciting activity planned to grow our mortgage book and I’m looking forward to talking to both new and existing brokers about how we can make homeownership an affordable reality for more of their clients.”

Janet Bedford, CEO of Beverley Building Society, added: “I am delighted to welcome such an accomplished mortgage professional as Stuart to the Society. Stuart has a proven track record in helping to drive growth in the sector and we are confident that he will play a significant part in strengthening our mortgage position and broker relationships within our East Riding heartland and nationally.”
