The Teachers Building Society has appointed Colin Dorman as its national account manager.

He will be responsible for developing business and relationships for the mutual’s intermediary and direct distribution channels.

Dorman was previously key account manager at ING Direct and has over 20 years’ experience in the intermediary mortgage market.

He spent 23 years at Nationwide Building Society, latterly at UCB Home Loans as national sales manager. More recently, Dorman was business development director at Connells Survey & Valuation Ltd prior to joining ING Direct.

James Bawa, chief executive of Teachers Building Society, said: “We have a strategy for strong, steady growth over the next decade which includes increasing net lending and our market share. Colin’s appointment supports this strategy and our commitment to the intermediary channel, following our re-entry two years ago.

“It’s also very timely, as we are about to launch an extended product range. We are confident that our niche lending to the teaching profession and Dorset area, together with the excellent level of service we provide, is an effective mix to drive new business and we’re delighted that Colin has joined the Teachers team.”
