Leek United has appointed Deb Bree as business development manager (BDM).

Bree (pictured) previously spent five years at Leek United working as a manager within the branch network and as a telephone BDM for over a year within the intermediary team.

Focusing on the South including London, the South East and South West, she will work closely with existing brokers as well as build a network of new introducers to Leek United.

Bree said: “I’m very much looking forward to my new role and getting to put a face to the name of our existing intermediary clients and building new relationships with brokers. I’ll be attending broker training days and working closely with mortgage clubs to show how Leek United’s products can help develop their mortgage business.

“I very much look forward to keeping them informed of new product and criteria updates as they are released to help meet their clients’ needs.”

Lisa Buckley, the society’s head of marketing and mortgage sales, added: “Deb has a tremendous amount of experience to offer our broker partners and can help them further understand our latest mortgage criteria to open up new opportunities for them and the Society.

“Deb will also deliver a high level of service to brokers and will be proactive in ensuring they have all the information they need to assist their clients.”
