Steve Goodall has been made ULS Technology’s chief executive after Ben Thompson opted to join the Mortgage Advice Bureau as managing director.

The appointment has been made with immediate effect, although Thompson will be available for a handover period before he takes the MAB role on 7 June.

Goodall (pictured) joined ULS in May 2017 as managing director from Legal & General Surveying Services, where he spent 15 years.

ULS is an online comparison service for residential conveyancing.

Geoff Wicks, independent non-executive chairman of ULS Technology, said: “We would like to thank Ben for what he has achieved at ULS and wish him every success in the future.

“We are pleased to appoint Steve as chief executive; he has been running our core business with considerable success and has a wealth of experience in our market.

“The company remains extremely well positioned to build on the strong growth to date and Steve’s reputation, relationships and experience will help us to continue to grow the business in the years ahead.”

Ben Thompson has been with ULS since October 2014, when he joined from Legal & General Mortgage Club.
