Leek United has appointed Laura Allcock as intermediary mortgages team manager.

Allcock (pictured) has worked for the society for over four years, including management positions at two of the branches.

She will manage the in-house telephone intermediary team as well as the BDMs who are out on the road meeting with intermediaries.

Alcock said: “I’m very excited to start my new role managing the intermediary team and driving business forward. Leek United have lots of innovative mortgages to help brokers build their business and in this regard we are the industries best kept secret.

“I’ll ensure our high service levels continue and work with brokers to get their feedback as they are at the heart of what we do in this market.”

Lisa Buckley, the Society’s head of marketing and mortgage sales, added: “I’m delighted to welcome Laura to the growing intermediary team. She has excellent knowledge of the Society’s mortgage products and will be able to lead the team in a positive way to develop business with new and existing brokers.

“We are continuing to strengthen our presence in the intermediary mortgage sector and Laura’s appointment will help us increase awareness and develop our lending with brokers.”
