These people are an ideal target market for the Beverley because of the knowledge and experience within its lending team, and the fact it can take the time to support customers individually.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to working with Karl and the team to help them bring that to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Esther added: \u201cThis has been my first encounter with Beverley, but it\u2019s a beautiful area and the building society team are a really warm and welcoming group of people \u2013 all the way from the front counter to the executive and Board teams.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Beverley is also really well-regarded within its surrounding community and all of the customer feedback recognises it as being genuinely brilliant at customer service, something many bigger financial services brands would dearly love to emulate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now MD of the Premiss Consultancy business consulting company, during her career at Secure Trust Bank, Esther was Managing Director of its mortgage division, with full profit and loss accountability.
