Accord Mortgages has added its corporate account team with the appointment of Helen Cawthra.
Cawthra (pictured) joins the intermediary-only lender as a corporate account manager following two years at Leeds Building Society in the same role, and a decade at Lloyds Banking Group as business development manager.
She will manage relationships and provide support to the lender’s key lending partners.
In addition, Accord has strengthened its sales team with two new business development managers: Jamie Curtis has joined the lender to support brokers in Thames Valley region, while Rhiannon Adams has been named BDM in South West region.
Recruitment on additional new posts is expected to be completed in September.
Jeremy Duncombe, director of intermediary distribution at Accord, said: “We’re delighted to welcome such high quality colleagues to the team as we continue with our ambitious growth plans.
“Helen will work closely with our key lending partners to help us add value to their advisors and members to ensure they’re getting the most from our proposition, including our common sense approach to underwriting and direct access to underwriters.
“Jamie and Rhiannon will work regionally, supporting individual brokers and firms, helping them develop their businesses with our competitive products and initiatives such as our Growth Series.
“One of our main objectives is to help brokers give the best possible service to their clients and strengthening our sales team underlines that commitment.”
