She previously worked as business development manager for other building societies
Nottingham Building Society has expanded its business development team with the addition of Raji Sidhu-Housden (pictured), who has been assigned to Central London.
Sidhu-Housden, who officially joined the team at the start of this month, brings experience and industry connections to the role. Previously, she worked as a London business development manager (BDM) at The West Brom Building Society, where she was instrumental in building and maintaining relationships with key brokers in the city. These connections are expected to be beneficial for Nottingham Building Society as it aims to increase its presence in the area.
Before joining The West Brom Building Society, Sidhu-Housden held a similar position at Saffron Building Society. Her track record in business development and deep understanding of the financial sector, the mutual said, make her a valuable addition to its team’s efforts in growing the business and enhancing its services in Central London.
“We are thrilled to extend a warm welcome to Raji as she joins The Nottingham, contributing to the expansion of our growing BDM team,” said Matt Kingston, head of national sales at the Nottingham Building Society. “She brings outstanding expertise to the team, and I am genuinely excited to have her on board. With her considerable experience in the mortgage sector, I anticipate a fruitful collaboration as we strive to offer excellent support to our intermediaries.”
Commenting on her role, Sidhu-Housden said she was excited to be joining The Nottingham and keen to return to the specialist lending space with a well-established mutual.
“During my previous roles, I have built some amazing relationships with some great brokers and firms,” she added. “I can’t wait to reconnect and present The Nottingham’s proposition. I have fully embraced The Nottingham’s vision and strategy for growth, and feel privileged to be a part of that exciting growth journey.”
