Jerrold Holdings has added six new members to its marketing division, yet the business intends to expand even further by tripling the department’s size by the end of the year.
The growth drive comes following the recent announcement that the business has grown its profit before tax by 16% to £52 million for the year ended 30 June 2014.
Senior marketer Steven Amos (pictured) has been recruited from Aldermore. He will head up the team as head of products and marketing, responsible for guiding the business through its growth strategy.
Rhian Thomas and Laura Martin have been taken on as marketing business partners and Kirsty Wardlaw as marketing manager, each responsible for growing specific areas of the business, with particular emphasis on the intermediary markets. Between them, they’ve previously held senior roles at Aldermore, Halifax, The Co-operative Bank, Islamic Bank of Britain, Allianz, The Funding Corporation and Swinton Insurance.
The most recent hire is brand manager Sheryl Murphy who has been recruited from Royal London to ensure the Group’s branding is in-line with its growth strategy.
Amos said: “I’ve joined the business at an extremely exciting time as we look to accelerate growth throughout the entire company. With 40 years of successful lending behind us, we’re now looking forward to an even brighter future.
“I’m confident that the appointment of these highly experienced marketers will put us in the best place possible to seize future business opportunities and continue to provide excellent products to our customers.”
