Nottingham Building Society (BS) has announced the recruitment of a new chief lending officer, with Aaron Shinwell the man who has been appointed to the role.
He will be taking over as chief lending officer from Praven Subbramoney, who has confirmed his departure from the company.
Before taking up this position at Nottingham BS, Shinwell was employed by Santander UK as its commercial director of homes. That job required him to handle a number of responsibilities, including overseeing the company’s mortgage strategy and the pricing of its products.
All of that was on behalf of a lender with more than 1.8 million customers. Throughout his career at Santander UK, Shinwell helped it to lend roughly £55 billion in mortgages. Thus, he is no stranger to working with big lenders in high pressure environments.
He has been working in the financial services sector for more than two decades. This includes periods with Lloyds Banking Group and HSBC, both of which were in senior management positions.
Nottingham BS CEO Sue Hayes said to Financial Reporter that:
“We are delighted to welcome Aaron to Nottingham Building Society. His deep expertise in mortgage strategy, transformation and customer-focused innovation makes him a fantastic addition to our leadership team.”
Shinwell will not be assuming the role immediately though, and the company has appointed an interim chief lending officer. Greg Went is set to fill the position on a temporary basis.
This is news that will be of interest to anyone with CeMAP mortgage advisor training, as Nottingham BS is a major UK mortgage lender.
