The Family Building Society has expanded its team of business development managers (BDMs) with the appointment of Neil Cadwallader.

In a first for the Society, Cadwallader will cover South Wales and Gloucestershire, Somerset and Devon in the South West.

Cadwallader joins from the Coventry Building Society where he had a similar role. He started his career in financial services around 20 years ago and was also BDM at the Principality Building Society for six years.

Darren Deacon, head of intermediary sales at the Family Building Society, said: “We are delighted that Neil has joined our growing team of eight BDMs. Born and bred and living in South Wales and having covered the same ground for the Coventry, he is highly regarded by the broking community he has served so well. This appointment marks a major step in expanding our reach.”

Cadwallader added: “I look forward introducing the Family and its products to the broking community I know well. The scope, criteria and flexibility that the Society offers borrowers is a very appealing strength, particularly in these uncertain times. I see this move as a big opportunity to tell a very compelling narrative.”
