Loughborough Building Society has announced the promotion of Luke Berrington to the newly created position of senior telephone BDM.

Berrington (pictured) has 17 years’ financial services experience having previously worked at Halifax, Santander, and Connells Mortgage Services. He joined The Loughborough in 2018 as a mortgage adviser within the direct advice team before transferring over to the intermediary team in 2019 where he worked his way up to become a telephone BDM prior to his promotion.

In his new role, when required, he will assume additional responsibility in the absence of the head of intermediaries and be heavily involved with supporting key intermediary partners and developing new relationships.

Ashley Pearson, head of intermediaries at Loughborough Building Society, said: “Luke has played an integral part in the growth of The Loughborough’s intermediary channel over the past five years. He has thoroughly earned this promotion and he will continue to play a key role in developing new intermediary relationships, as well as in strengthening existing ones, as we look to further extend our intermediary proposition in H2 2024 and beyond.”

Berrington added: “Working with brokers across the UK for the past five years, alongside the team here at The Loughborough, has been incredibly rewarding. I’m looking forward to becoming even more heavily involved in growing our intermediary offering and better servicing the ever-evolving needs of our key partners and their clients.”
