Appointment forms part of lender's push to deepen broker ties
Nationwide has appointed Kim Dickinson (pictured top) as its new lead product manager for intermediaries, as the lender continues to expand its intermediary relationships team.
Dickinson joins Nationwide with a decade of experience in the mortgage sector, having spent that time at Virgin Money and Clydesdale, where she managed relationships with a large number of brokers.
Nationwide acquired Virgin Money in October 2024 in a £2.9 billion deal, which created the second-largest provider of mortgages and savings in the UK. Nationwide brought into effect a banking business transfer scheme in April, moving the business of Clydesdale Bank — the legal entity that owned Virgin Money and Yorkshire Bank — into Nationwide. It has also installed new boards at Virgin Money and Clydesdale Bank in September 2025.
In her new position, Dickinson will be tasked to oversee Nationwide's intermediary proposition. The lender said her remit would include ensuring its offering to brokers remains competitive and reflects both broker feedback and the requirements of their clients.
“I'm delighted to take on this role at such an important time for Nationwide's intermediary proposition,” Dickinson said. “Brokers play a vital role in helping customers navigate the housing market, and I'm passionate about ensuring we deliver products and services that will help them to support their clients. I look forward to working closely with intermediaries to ensure their voices are reflected in our proposition strategy.”
“Kim's appointment is an important step forward as we continue to invest in intermediaries,” said Damian Thompson (pictured right), director of mortgage intermediaries and partnerships at Nationwide.
“Her expertise and insight will be invaluable in helping us further enhance our proposition and strengthen our support for brokers. This is a key priority for us at Nationwide, and Kim will be instrumental in ensuring we deliver products and services that truly meet the needs of intermediaries and their clients.”
