The Mansfield Building Society has appointed Stuart Bryce as business development manager (BDM).

Bryce (pictured) will be responsible for fostering existing intermediary relationships as well as developing new business streams.

He has 26 years’ experience in the mortgage and protection sectors. Having started his career at the Derbyshire Building Society, he has worked for the last 20 years in national brokerages and run his own mortgage brokerage.

Mike Taylor, sales and marketing manager, said: “As the Society develops its proposition for intermediaries, employing someone of Stuart’s calibre is part of the investment we are making to ensure that advisers have access to someone who, not only has extensive lending knowledge, but also first hand understanding of the role of the broker.

“We look forward to gaining the benefit of Stuart’s wealth of skills, knowledge and experience as we seek to grow our mortgage pipeline with quality mortgage business.”

Bryce added: “I am delighted to be joining The Mansfield, which is keen to grow its intermediary presence. Added to their impressive product offering, there is a commitment to human underwriting and treating customers and brokers as individuals.

“I am looking forward to working with existing broker providers and bringing The Mansfield proposition to new adviser firms too.”
