"These key hires are a statement of intent, bolstering the team to expand our intermediary network across the UK."

Kent Reliance has hired four new Senior BDMs in a move to extend its intermediary presence across the UK.

James Forth and Helen McKinney both join from Virgin Money and will be responsible for growing the brand’s footprint in the North and Midlands respectively. Simon Wilson and Andy Williams, both from Nationwide for Intermediaries, will cover London and the South.

Scott Phillips has also joined as a National Account Manager and will be responsible for Kent Reliance’s relationship with its mortgage distribution partners.

The four new BDMs and National Account team will report to Steve Seal who joined from Virgin Money in January. Steve was appointed to the newly created role of Head of National Accounts and will be responsible for leading and developing Kent Reliance's distribution strategy as it seeks continuing growth within the intermediary mortgage market.

Adrian Moloney, Sales Director at OneSavings Bank said: “These key hires are a statement of intent, bolstering the team to expand our intermediary network across the UK. All bring with them a deep industry knowledge and wealth of contacts in these regions. We already had an outstanding sales team and these hires reinforce our commitment to the intermediary market and our focus on the quality of the service we provide to advisers and their clients.”

OneSavings Bank has also enhanced its sales and relationship management team across its InterBay Commercial and Prestige Finance brands.

Darrell Walker joins as Head of Sales – Second Charge & Commercial Lending, retaining responsibility for Prestige’s intermediary relationships but also leading the InterBay Commercial sales team and key partners.

In a move to broaden its presence in the Second Charge market, Prestige Finance has also appointed Karen Rodrigues as National Account Manager.

Adrian Moloney added: “The inclusion of InterBay Commercial within Darrell’s remit makes perfect sense for providing a comprehensive and aligned approach to our second charge and commercial lending propositions for intermediaries. Darrell has achieved a great deal in his time at Prestige Finance and, while the brands remain very much separate entities they will both benefit from his drive and vision.

“Darrell will be ably supported by Karen’s move to Prestige. She brings with her a huge amount of knowledge and experience, in particular with master brokers and packagers, putting her in good stead as she looks to maintain the momentum of Prestige Finance at a particularly interesting time for the second charge market.”
