Saffron Building Society has today announced that Tony Hall will be taking on an expanded role as Head of Business Development, following Peter Owen’s decision to retire after nearly ten years with the company. In his expanded role, Hall will also be responsible for Saffron Building Society’s Property Development team.
Peter Owen, the current Head of Property Development at Saffron Building Society, is retiring this week. Having joined Saffron as Head of Property Development in 2014, Owen oversaw the transformation of Saffron’s development portfolio into the central part of Saffron’s proposition that it is today. Tony’s appointment brings all of Saffron’s front book lending into one place, promoting a more cohesive business strategy.
