Dudley appoints Millard as underwriting manager

Dudley Building Society has appointed Paula Millard to the post of underwriting manager.

Paula joins from Royal Bank of Scotland where she headed underwriter training and created the blueprint for their technical learning team. She previously spent five years managing underwriting and customer service teams at RBS.

Jonathan Moore, head of credit, said: “Paula’s experience of the underwriting role in a large organisation like RBS will be invaluable to us as we continue to develop our own underwriting capability in the wake of growing demand for our products and service.

“Her enthusiasm for lending and what she brings in terms of structure, when allied to Dudley’s commitment to assessing each case on its merits, will be particularly valuable. She is already making a difference.”

Millard added: “Dudley Building Society is a progressive regional society with strong roots in the West Midlands. As someone who grew up with local links, I am particularly delighted to be working on home ground as part of this very forward thinking team."
