Robinson to leave Accord after 14 years

Accord Mortgages has announced their national intermediary sales manager, David Robinson, will leave the business later this month.

Mr Robinson has been with the Yorkshire Building Society Group for 29 years, having spent the last 14 years in its intermediary arm Accord Mortgages.

He said the decision to leave Accord was not an easy one to make, but he was looking forward to new challenges ahead.

Amongst his achievements at Accord, Mr Robinson played a role in increasing procuration fees for new business, introduced a retention strategy for brokers and enabled direct broker access to underwriters.

He said: “My proudest moment is the transformation we have undertaken in the last three years. It is testament to the hard work and team effort from many colleagues across the business that we have achieved so much and gained this new recognition in the intermediary market.

“Throughout, we have genuinely listened to feedback and I hope our intermediary partners feel supported with a strong product proposition backed up by excellent service.

“I do believe that we’ve been able to change the hearts and minds of our broker customers and I know Accord will continue to go from strength to strength.”

Mr Robinson did not say where he was going next.

Charles Canning, chief customer officer at Yorkshire Building Society Group, said: “We are hugely appreciative of David’s contribution over the years and to making Accord Mortgages what it is today. We wish him every success in the future.”
