Meet a few of the team

These mini biographies show some of the people you will deal with your application.

Further to valuable feedback from yourselves, we have reviewed the opening hours of our Intermediary Support Team. We are happy to announce that from 1 December 2018 the team will be more than happy to help between the hours of 8am-6pm Monday to Friday. This change means we will have more staff available to you when you need us.

Not only do I cover the local area but also the following postcodes: DL, DH, SR, TS, HG, YO, LN, PE, NR, CB, IP and CO. We specialise in listening to a case on its own merits and using a common sense approach. I am happy to chat through scenarios to see where we can support you and your clients. Having been with the society for 20 years I have seen my share of quality, quirky cases, feel free to get in touch to arrange a chat about how we can help.
