Nationwide's Head of Digital Tilsley Departs After 40 Years
Andy Tilsley, head of intermediary for digital at Nationwide, is leaving the business after 40 years. He will be replaced by Jim Quinton, currently senior manager for partnerships, who will lead the mutual's digital mortgage process.
A Four-Decade Career
Tilsley has spent four decades at Nationwide, where he played a key role in shaping the lender's digital capabilities for intermediaries, according to Damian Thompson, Nationwide's director of mortgage intermediaries and partnerships.
In a statement, Thompson said Tilsley was leaving to pursue new opportunities outside the organisation and had made a significant contribution to Nationwide's growth and transformation. Thompson thanked Tilsley for his dedication, leadership and commitment, describing him as a highly respected colleague.
Digital Developments at Nationwide
The departure comes during a notable year for Nationwide's digital mortgage offering. The lender was the first to integrate its full mortgage application process into the Acre CRM, and at the start of the year it brought in e-signatures for mortgage deeds.
What This Means for Intermediaries
For letting agents, inventory clerks and other property professionals who work alongside intermediaries, changes in lender digital teams can affect how mortgage processes are handled day to day. Quinton will now lead the mutual's digital mortgage process, having moved up from the partnerships side of the business.
