Vernon Building Society strengthens marketing department

The Vernon Building Society in Stockport has strengthened its marketing department with two new employees.

Alexander Deakin is the new Marketing Manager, while Adam Pemberton joins as a Marketing Assistant.

Alexander, 23, replaces Nathaniel Harwood and previously worked as an Advertising Sales Account Manager for Reach, previously named Trinity Mirror.

He said: “I am very excited and honoured to step into this challenging and fundamental role within The Vernon Building Society.

“The Vernon is renowned for its appreciation and care of its customers, community and employees, and I believe that this will be a brilliant environment for me to work effectively.

“I hope to continue to represent the Vernon brand on its next chapter as we continue to bring innovative products to the market.”

Adam, 24, had been teaching English in China and previously worked in telecom and broadband field sales.

He will work on social media strategy and creating content for the Vernon website.

Adam said: “I am incredibly excited to dive headfirst into this challenging role and have already begun on projects such as the 2018 Vernon Building Society Community Awards.

“It is an honour to represent such a well-respected and renowned building society, and I will work alongside Alex as we bring a fresh new view to the Vernon using digital marketing alongside more traditional methods.”

The marketing department will continue to be run by Director of Sales and Marketing, Ian Keeling.

The Vernon, which has six branches across Stockport and Cheshire, is well-known for its innovative mortgage products and was recently highly commended at the 2018 Moneyfacts Awards.
