Hanley Economic Building Society has restructured and bolstered its senior leadership team. The society has appointed Lynsey Carter as head of operations and Will Jones as head of technology. These high-level additions to the
senior leadership team follow the recent appointment of Larne Payne as Hanley’s new financial director. Chief executive, Mark Selby, said: “As a forward-thinking society, it is vital
Lynsey Carter and Will Jones
that we constantly evaluate not only how we can improve as a business, but also in how we identify the key areas which can really make the difference for both our intermediary partners and our loyal band of local customers. “We will always take great pride in our heritage – which stretches back over
163 years – however, the modern mortgage market demands that lenders are innovative, engaging, and transparent in their offerings, whilst maintaining the highest service standards possible.”

The latest landlord research from Foundation Home Loans has revealed
that landlords who are planning to add to portfolios in the next year, are much more likely to do so via a limited-company vehicle. The research – undertaken by BVA
BDRC and carried out in June 2019 with the results based on 738 online interviews – revealed that, while only 14% of landlords said they would be seeking to purchase property over the next 12 months, over half of those (55%) would do so via a limited company, up from 53% in the quarter one iteration of the research. In total, 24% of those who said they
would be purchasing, would do so as an individual – down from 26% three months ago, while 13% said it would depend on their circumstances at the time. Jeff Knight, director of marketing, said: “It
is clear that the majority of those landlords who will be purchasing over the next 12 months, intend to do so via a limited company, while we are also seeing a growing number of landlords willing to take the Stamp-Duty hit in order to move properties from their individual name.”
According to almost two-thirds of CFOs (65%), digital transformation will result in fewer jobs, despite the fact that 32% of organisations are not currently undergoing this change, with 23% not planning to look at digital transformation for at least a year or
48
more, as discovered in the FinTech Barometer 2019, the annual survey by Onguard. Bert van der Zwan, chief executive at
Onguard, said: “It is notable that digital transformation is not going to be on the agenda for 23% of CFOs for a year or more. “However, this does explain why many
companies have not yet got to the point of improving their customer experience through digital transformation.”
CVR Global is strengthening its overseas presence after acquiring an office in Jersey. The Moore Stephens Restructuring and Insolvency team is transferring to CVR
Global Offshore Limited – a wholly owned subsidiary of CVR Global LLP and will be based at Wharf Street in St Helier. Adrian Rabet is joining CVR Global as
director and will head up the firm’s Jersey office. Partner, Adrian Hyde, said: “Overseas
work is undoubtedly on the rise for us, so when the opportunity came about to take over the reigns from Moore Stephens and strengthen our roots in an offshore location, we were keen to take it. “We believe there are a lot of similarities
between the work we are receiving in the British Virgin Islands and the types of cases being handled in Jersey – particularly from Eastern Europe and further afield – so this is a move that will set us up for further growth in the future and fits perfectly with the recent arrival of Darren Reeds.”
The Credit Services Association (CSA) has passed the first stage on its journey to become the foremost provider for apprenticeships in the collections and compliance space. An OFSTED report has praised the
CSA’s apprenticeship programmes and how they are successfully contributing to the professionalisation of the debt collection and purchase industry. The report also highlights how the CSA is building the capacity of the apprenticeships team with highly qualified and experienced tutors. The CSA can now continue to recruit new apprentices without restriction.
The Nottingham Building Society has linked up with the National Literacy Trust to support their work with young people and families across the country. From Monday 9 September, hot on the heels of International Literacy Day, more than 60 of The Nottingham’s branches across nine counties will begin collecting unused books from members and its team via dedicated donation points. The Nottingham’s director of member services, Tina
Hayton-Banks, said: “Helping people with literacy and numeracy in the communities where we have branches is something that has been at our core ever since we were founded 170 years ago. “Our founder, Samuel Fox, was passionate about education for all and set up
Tina Hayton-Banks
the UK’s first adult school in Nottingham. He was dedicated to helping people increase their employability prospects through improved literacy levels and gave his team time off to go out to factories across Nottingham to help unskilled workers learn to read and write.”
