Gen H Reshuffles Executive Team as Pete Dockar Departs for Principality BS

Fintech mortgage lender Gen H has announced changes to its executive team, following the departure of chief commercial officer Pete Dockar. Dockar is leaving Gen H after four years to join Principality Building Society, where he will take up the same job title in a newly-created role.

Dockar’s new position at Principality Building Society will bring together the mutual’s savings, mortgage, branch network, and commercial lending businesses. The role is designed to balance the needs of savers and borrowers, with a focus on data and technology. Dockar previously held roles at HSBC and Virgin Money.

In response to Dockar’s exit, Gen H has promoted Sara Palmer to chief distribution officer, Richard Leivers to chief lending officer, and Andrew Mackie to chief financial officer. Palmer, who joined Gen H last year as sales and distribution director, will now lead the company’s growth function. Leivers moves from his previous role as propositions director to oversee Gen H’s lending function, while Mackie, who also joined last year, will manage the business’s financial position and capital markets funding arrangements.

These changes come as Gen H continues to focus on supporting broker partners and developing new initiatives for homeowners. The executive reshuffle is part of the lender’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its leadership and drive business growth.

Letting agents and inventory clerks may wish to note these developments, as changes in leadership at major lenders can influence lending practices and the wider UK property market.
