YBS Appoints Mather and Kettle to Senior Homes Division Roles

Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) has appointed Catherine Mather and Sophia Kettle to senior leadership positions within its homes division. Mather will lead residential mortgages, while Kettle will head up the buy-to-let (BTL) segment.

Mather is tasked with developing YBS’s residential mortgage proposition and customer experience. She brings extensive industry experience, including senior leadership roles at NatWest, with a background in mortgages, customer journeys, customer servicing, and business transformation.

Kettle will be responsible for the buy-to-let area, supporting YBS’s ambition to strengthen and grow its specialist lending offer. She joins from LendInvest, where she progressed to commercial director, and has experience in mortgage distribution, BTL, and specialist lending.

These appointments follow the recent announcement of Amanda Bryden as director of distribution and further strengthen the leadership team across Homes and Accord Mortgages.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these leadership changes at YBS may signal a continued focus on both residential and buy-to-let mortgage offerings, potentially impacting lending options and service delivery in the property sector.
