Nottingham Building Society recruits national sales manager

The Nottingham Building Society has announced the appointment of Matt Kingston (pictured) as national sales manager for its intermediaries business.

Kingston will manage the mutual’s business development team, playing a key day-to-day role in supporting brokers with sourcing the right mortgage offering for clients, and leading on key stakeholder relationships, including mortgage clubs and networks across the country.

He joins The Nottingham from later life lender LiveMore Capital, where he was head of key accounts and regional sales manager. Prior to this, he worked as an adviser at Clifton Mortgages and held several managerial roles in Legal & General, Bank of Ireland, Marsh Commercial, Aviva plc, and RSA.

Kingston’s appointment is the latest in a series of additions to the building society this year, with Gareth Hagger-Johnson joining as director of data strategy and Anthony Murphy joining as chief financial officer in January. This follows a suite of hires in 2022, including the appointment of Paul Howley as The Nottingham’s first ever chief technology and transformation officer and the appointment of Alison Pallett as head of intermediary sales.

Commenting on his appointment, Kingston said he was proud to be joining a “modern organisation with a rich heritage of helping people purchase their own homes.”

“I look forward to advancing The Nottingham’s portfolio and continuing to cultivate meaningful relationships with intermediary partners,” he added.

Pallett said they were delighted to have Kingston join the mutual to further strengthen its sales efforts.

“Maintaining and growing relationships with our valued broker network is critical to our future success, and Matt will play a key role in ensuring we do this,” she stated. “These are some of the most challenging times for borrowers, and Matt will help us ensure that we are meeting their needs and those of the brokers who advise them.”
