Family BS appoints BDM for the South Coast

Stuart joins from Catalyst Property Finance, where he was intermediary relationship manager. Stuart has 15 years' experience in the lending and mortgage market, spending eight years at the Nationwide, before joining Countrywide and then Leeds Building Society.

Darren Deacon, head of intermediary sales at Family Building Society, said: “We are delighted that Stuart has joined our growing team of BDMs. Intermediaries are very important to the Society. Building and retaining relationships with them is critical and communication channels between lender and borrower are more vital than ever in these uncertain times. Stuart is a refreshing new member of our team of BDMs which are the key link in this chain.

"Stuart has taken over this position from Michelle Bunter, who has moved to a new intermediary support role in the Society. Michelle has paved the way for Stuart and he has hit the ground running."

Stuart Heavens added: "This is an exciting challenge for me and I am very pleased to be joining such an innovative and forward looking building society, covering an interesting and beautiful part of the country."
