Saffron Building Society has revealed that Tony Hall will broaden his responsibilities to include heading the property development team, in addition to his current role as head of business development. This strategic move follows the retirement of Peter Owen.
Under Owen’s leadership since 2014, Saffron’s development portfolio has become a pivotal aspect of the society’s offerings. Hall’s new position aims to unify Saffron’s front book lending operations, fostering a more integrated approach to business strategy.
Concurrently, Matt Hardy, previously property development manager, will step into a new position as national lending manager – property development, reporting directly to Hall.
Since joining Saffron in 2021, Hardy has played a crucial role within the property development team, working alongside Owen to provide development finance solutions.
Hall expressed his enthusiasm for the expanded role, stating: “Firstly, I would like to thank Peter for his stellar decade of service at Saffron.
“I am really excited by my expanded remit and I am looking forward to building on Peter and Matt’s success.”
