BRADFORD & Bingley in Salisbury has a new manager.

Christopher Bushell has been with the building society for just 18 months and comes to Salisbury from Wokingham where he was a customer service adviser.

He joined after finishing university in Southampton, and Salisbury is his first managerial appointment.

He said the branch was currently focusing on mortgages and remortgages.

"Whether you are looking to move, to buy for the first time or just want to check you are on the best mortgage rate, we can help," he said.

"We offer independent advice and can offer mortgages from anyone - this gives us the ability to help more people, as, if a borrower has special needs, we can find the lender who can provide for those needs."
