Leeds Building Society’s Mark Collar to retire

Mark Collar (pictured) has announced that he will retire from his position as national intermediary distribution manager at Leeds Building Society.

Collar is set to retire this October, following over 35 years in the mortgage industry and 10 years at the society.

Collar said he looked forward to retirement and plans to spend his time out in the fresh air walking and supporting charities, including The Trussle Trust and The Canals & Rivers Trust in his local area.

He said: “I joined Leeds Building Society in 2014 having been aware of the mutual and the impact it was making, and having long-admired its purpose-led approach.

“I have had the pleasure of supporting the business towards delivering its purpose of putting homeownership within reach of more people for the past 10 years.”

Collar concluded: “After my departure, my teams will continue to work closely with brokers to streamline the rate switching journey and there are some exciting developments around the corner which will enable our intermediary partners to offer the best support to their clients.”
