"Changing demographics and working patterns mean that more borrowers are turning to professional mortgage advice"
Mark Wilkinson joins from Virgin Money and will support brokers in helping clients with specialist circumstances.
Ryan Brailsford, head of sales for the North, said: “Brokers have a huge opportunity to help more clients and grow their business. Changing demographics and working patterns mean that more borrowers are turning to professional mortgage advice and specialist lenders are responding to this demand with increasingly competitive products and service propositions.
"I’m so pleased that Mark has chosen to join Pepper to help us work more closely with brokers in the North East to ensure that more are able to find a home for their interesting cases.”
Mark Wilkinson commented: “I’m really looking forward to engaging with my regional brokers to show them the great things that Pepper Money can do to support their clients. The North East market needs a lender with an appetite for interesting cases, including self-employed, buy-to-let and customers with credit blips.
"I will spend my time showing brokers how easy it is to do business with Pepper Money and why we should be their specialist lender of choice. It’s an exciting year ahead for Pepper Money and I’m delighted I have the chance to spread the good news about the great things we do.”
