"Her extensive understanding of what borrowers and brokers need from lenders will enhance our ability to deliver an exceptional service and products to intermediaries across the UK."
Market Financial Solutions (MFS) has appointed Karen Rodrigues as its new head of national accounts.
Rodrigues has over 20 years’ experience in the mortgage intermediary sector having started her career in financial services with Halifax in 1992.
She has worked closely with mortgage intermediaries ever since, spending four years at Vida Homeloans as a corporate sales manager following positions at Aldermore Mortgages, Kensington, Kent Reliance and Prestige Finance. Most recently, she was director of sales at Smoove, which includes the eConveyancer platform.
Rodrigues joins MFS to bring the specialist lender’s range of products to large clubs and networks across the UK.
Karen Rodrigues said: “I am delighted to be joining MFS at a time when the company is expanding at pace. Having been an active player for 17 years now, the company is an integral part of the specialist finance industry, and I am excited to be a part of the business’ continued growth in the months and years to come.
“As other lenders withdraw their products and frequently adjust their rates, MFS has committed to providing the certainty, speed and flexibility that brokers and borrowers are crying out for in today’s lending market. I look forward to taking its market-leading products to the UK’s clubs and networks.”
Paresh Raja, CEO of MFS, added: “Lenders need great products and exceptional levels of services, and both things rely on having great individuals within their teams – that is why we’re so pleased to welcome Karen to MFS.
“Karen has immense experience in the intermediary market. Her extensive understanding of what borrowers and brokers need from lenders will enhance our ability to deliver an exceptional service and products to intermediaries across the UK.”
