Moore head of credit at The Dudley

Moore, who has spent 10 years at Manchester Building Society in relevant operational issues, will also look after post completion client outcomes and said: “What I am most excited about is helping to build a portfolio of products relevant to our market and to the introducers who support our packager partners. This month we launched a self-employed product, which is the first in a line of new concepts where innovation will be a key ingredient.”

Jeremy Wood, chief executive at the Dudley, added: “We are delighted to have Jonathan on board. He brings great experience to bear as well as a strong desire to help the Dudley build on its strong traditional strengths of mutuality and customer service.

“Jonathan will be working to help foster product innovation, along with bringing a greater degree of commerciality to our business.

“With his input, the Society will be actively looking to find solutions to the issues that currently act as a barrier to homeownership and help to reestablish building societies as leaders in the funding of residential property.”
