The Ipswich Building Society has appointed a new business development manager.

Andrew Sadler (pictured) has over 20 years’ experience and joins the society following three years at Virgin Money, in area sales and business development manager roles.

Ipswich Building Society recently announced it will be working with Legal & General’s network of brokers which are part of its Mortgage Club. Brokers will be able to access the mutual’s mortgage specialists and manual approach to underwriting, enabling the handling of more complex cases, particularly around so-called ‘mortgage misfits’ such as older borrowers, the self-employed and self-builders.

Michelle Stevens, head of mortgage sales, said: “Andrew is a welcome addition to our team. His significant experience within intermediary mortgage lending, as both a business development manager and area sales manager, will complement our focus on extending our expert offering to the broker market and enables us to continue our dedicated, personal approach to lending as the Society grows.”
