The Cumberland Building Society has appointed Grant Seaton (pictured), previously senior commercial manager, as its new head of intermediary lending as it continues its distribution expansion supporting brokers providing specialist holiday let mortgages and residential mortgages.
In his new role, Seaton will take the reins of the building society’s intermediary team which has a specialism in lending to the hospitality sector, having provided holiday let mortgages for over 10 years now.
Seaton assumes the role with a wealth of experience, having worked at The Cumberland for more than 25 years.
His previous role at the company saw him serve as senior commercial manager for England and Wales, where he oversaw the growth of intermediary lending to the hospitality sector in those regions.
Seaton said: “It is an exciting time for The Cumberland as we ramp up our efforts in delivering a quality service to our intermediary clients whilst providing working solutions for the end customer.
“A key aspect of The Cumberland’s ambitions is to expand and modernise our services, while at the same time applying our Kinder Banking purpose which puts people at the heart of what we do.”
He added: “The development of the Intermediary Team is a prime example of this.
“Not only does it see us expand our offering, but it will also serve as another vessel for us to apply the values which make The Cumberland a truly unique building society.
“Myself, and the rest of the team, are looking forward to continuously innovating our service and supporting thousands across the country in securing mortgages which work for them and make their house owning dreams become a reality.”
