A NEW boss has been appointed at a building society branch.
Steven Hillary will lead the five-strong team at the Durham City branch of Newcastle Building Society (NBS), on Elvet Bridge.
Mr Hillary, from Gateshead, has worked in financial services for more than 25 years and previously led the NBS branch in Hexham.
For the last two years, he has been a freelance mortgage broker.
He said: “The branch is set in a fantastic, historic location and we get a real cross-section of local people coming in who I’m enjoying getting to know.
“I’ve always enjoyed being part of a team and have settled in very quickly to leading what is an excellent group of staff that I hope to be able to help develop their own careers over time.”
Heather Perry, branch divisional manager at NBS, said: “Steven has already built up an impressive career track record in financial services and it’s great to have him back with us in this new role.”
