The Mansfield Building Society has appointed Audrey Green to the new position of commercial development executive.

The mutual is looking to grow its business locally and across England and Wales. The new role has been created as a critical part of the strategic plan to increase segmented residential and buy-to-let mortgage lending as well as build on its investment product offering.

Green has joined having spent 15 years at the Earl Shilton Building Society, where she was business development director.

She said: “One of the main factors in my decision to join The Mansfield is the timing. It is a very exciting point in the Society’s history with a challenging and competitive market ahead of us.

“The Society has a good reputation with enthusiastic staff and I’m looking to use and develop the extensive skills I have learnt so that The Mansfield is among the first names that people think of for their financial needs.”

Gev Lynott, chief executive of The Mansfield, said: “We are delighted to welcome Audrey to head up our commercial activity. She comes with an impressive track record and I am sure that she will put her experience to good use on the Society’s behalf.

“The financial services landscape is evolving rapidly and with Audrey’s guidance and energy, The Mansfield will continue to embrace change and grow to service the needs of customers here in Nottinghamshire and further afield.”
