The business development team at Saffron for Intermediaries has announced the appointment of four new members, which includes two internal moves.

The mutual says it “always aims to support its employees’ professional development”, so Saffron for Intermediaries offered two roles in the business development team internally to Raji Sidhu-Housden and Simon O’Donnell who have both been at the society for several years.

In addition, the team has been bolstered with the recruitment of Linsey Smith as an administrator and Phil Lawford as a business development manager.

Tony Hall (pictured), interim head of mortgage sales, said: “This is an exciting time for us and demonstrates the Society’s commitment to service delivery and developing long lasting relationships with all our intermediary partners.

“We are delighted to welcome our new team members on board and the addition of Phil with his extensive experience and passion for the industry is a real bonus.”
