Skipton appoints head of mortgage products

Alex Beavis joined Skipton five years ago and was previously the Society’s senior product manager.

Additionally, Maitham Mohsin has been promoted from his role as Skipton’s senior partnerships manager to head of savings and partnerships products. Prior to joining Skipton, Maitham spent four years with Tesco Bank.

Alex said: “The UK mortgage market is going through an unprecedented transition, thanks to developments in digital technology. Mortgage brokers and customers alike are continually raising the bar in terms of lender expectations and the challenge across the sector is to adapt and evolve our products, policy and processes to deliver a lending proposition that meets these demands. Combining strong intermediary relationships and top class service with the advantages of emerging digital technology is a challenge all lenders face, and one that I’m excited to take on in this new role.”

Maitham added: “I feel honoured and privileged to be able to lead Skipton’s savings and partnerships propositions. I’ve been immensely proud of what the team have delivered so far, from helping more than 134,000 customers with a cash lifetime ISA through to the redevelopment of our home insurance proposition - more than doubling our insurance book in the process.”

Skipton’s director of products, Kris Brewster, commented: “I’m delighted to confirm the promotion of Alex and Maitham to head of mortgage and head of savings and partnership products. They both bring strong industry expertise, intense customer focus and a drive to embrace change in a challenging commercial market. These appointments further strengthen Skipton’s team and create more scope for us to collaborate and play a leading role in the world of mortgages and savings.”
