Furness Building Society is pleased to announce the appointment of Harry Galvin (pictured) as the new business development manager for London and the South.
Galvin brings a wealth of industry experience to the role, having previously worked as a whole-of-market mortgage broker and spent seven years at Lloyds Bank.
Alasdair McDonald, head of Intermediary Mortgages at Furness, said: “I am thrilled that we’re able to further strengthen our Business Development team with Harry’s arrival. With his background working as a broker, as well as his knowledge of the industry, he is perfectly placed to understand the challenges that brokers face in today’s market and how a solution-based lender such as Furness can be agile enough to meet their needs.”
London and the South represent key areas for Furness, and Galvin will focus on showcasing the range of solutions that the building society’s individual approach to underwriting allows it to offer. These include self-build mortgages, short-term lending, holiday lets, and mortgages for the self-employed.
Galvin expressed his excitement about joining the team, adding: “I am thrilled to be joining Furness Building Society at such an exciting time. Furness provides a fantastic service to brokers with a competitive product range and manual underwriting. I am particularly looking forward to start working with our partners throughout the South of the country and London.”
