Market Harborough expands broker support team

Published on

Market Harborough Building Society has strengthened its broker-facing team with the appointment of two specialist business development managers.

Victoria Taricska has joined as a field-based business development manager, supporting brokers across South London and the South Coast.

Parveen Kumari-Reynolds has been appointed as a telephone business development manager, focusing on brokers in the North and Scotland, following the society’s recent launch into the Scottish market.

Iain Smith, head of mortgage distribution at Market Harborough, said: “I’m delighted that Victoria and Parveen have joined our mortgage team. Between them, they bring over 40 years’ combined experience and a strong understanding of the challenges brokers face when placing more complex cases.

“Over the past 12 months, we’ve increased our team by 50%, reflecting our long-term commitment to brokers of maintaining personal, proactive service as demand for specialist lending continues to grow.”

Smith added: “Our investment in broker support is guided by our Best for Brokers Promise, which we introduced in 2024 to set a clear standard for the service, accessibility and consistency brokers can expect from us.

“Expanding the team is just one step in our continued investment in broker support.”

The society said its service approach had been recognised through three consecutive Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Awards, alongside the 2026 Exceptional Service Award.

Market Harborough reported profit before tax of £3.6m in its latest financial results. In 2025, the specialist lender increased new lending by 17% and achieved mortgage book growth of £17m, contributing to 35% book growth over the past three years.

The society also reported an 18% uplift in bridging finance lending.
