Yorkshire Building Society Appoints Mather and Kettle to Senior Homes 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 responsible for developing YBS’s residential mortgage proposition and customer experience. She joins with senior leadership experience from NatWest, where her background includes mortgages, customer journeys, customer servicing, and business transformation.

Kettle will oversee the buy-to-let area, supporting YBS’s ambition to strengthen and grow its specialist lending offer. She previously worked at LendInvest, where she advanced to commercial director, bringing expertise in mortgage distribution, BTL, and specialist lending.

Tom Simpson, managing director of homes at Yorkshire Building Society, stated that the appointments are part of building a Homes leadership team with deep mortgage experience and clear accountability for the markets served. He noted that these hires, along with a recent appointment to lead distribution, significantly strengthen the leadership across the Homes division.

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 propositions, with an emphasis on customer experience and specialist lending.
