Bio
Alison Galt
I worked with Mary for 5 years at UKAR on various asset sale projects - including sale of some non standard loans and a company sale. Mary is very organised and an excellent project manager but she also has a very good understanding of the business, risk and the processes required for an asset sale. She took on much more than a standard project manager role organising the servicing requirements for the loans going forward and co-ordinating with the buyers and service providers. Mary has great communication skills is a good team player and fun to work with.

Mary is one of the best Project managers I know. Her attention to detail, governance knowledge, extensive project management skill and amazing (a little scary) memory makes me a fan. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Project management of several loan/mortgage asset sale projects within Bradford & Bingley to assist in the objective to dispose of the Government’s investment in Bradford & Bingley and NRAM while maximising value for the taxpayer. Responsible for the transaction, servicing and system migration projects to ensure all the required activity is complete to firstly progress the transaction to the point of contract signature and subsequently to ensure the ongoing management of customer accounts until the point at which the legal title migrates to the new lender. The asset sale projects I have delivered have sold and transferred in excess of £27bn of mortgage and loan accounts (Residential, Buy to Let, Commercial, and Lifetime/Equity Release) to six different purchasers, each with differing requirements. The programmes often overlapped and I was responsible for delivery of several aspects concurrently.I have also successfully led and delivered, alongside my asset sales programmes, several smaller projects of work while employed by B&B including a replacement to our IFRS9 reporting supplier and a Title Deeds project to either return legacy title deeds to customers or destroy them. I am currently leading a regulatory project to move all customers with a LIBOR linked loan to a replacement reference rate prior to the planned cessation of the publication of LIBOR at the end of 2021. This involves ensuring the business aligns with the FCA principles, the choice of replacement reference rate, development and testing of the new products on our mortgage servicing platform, communication with customers and implementation planning.
