She said, “The job role description stood out to me. The Society seemed like somewhere I would feel comfortable to work and feel settled, and so far I’ve been right! Everyone made me feel welcome on my first day, and I’m enjoying that it’s such a small and friendly society. I also like that every day is different and there is always something new to learn.”
“I love spending time outdoors – In 2023 I went to the Lake District and climbed Scafell Pike which I enjoyed, so I’ve been trying to spend more time outside. I enjoy an evening on the sofa with a good film and a takeaway too!”
Paul Tilley, chief executive of esbs, said: “I’m delighted to see Abbie settle into her role in the Society so quickly as we continue to expand the mortgage team to consistently achieve good outcomes for our members.”
