Kent Reliance has promoted Steve Seal to the position of head of sales.
This is recognition of his leading and developing the lender’s national account distribution strategy in 2016.
Seal has over 20 years’ experience in the mortgage industry, including time at Chelsea Building Society, Barclays and Halifax and played a key part in launching Virgin Money’s intermediary proposition.
Adrian Moloney, sales director at OneSavings Bank said: “I’m delighted that Steve has agreed to take on this challenging new role for 2017. His experience and expertise provided our specialist mortgage partners with invaluable support last year and his new position will further enhance our future commitment to the intermediary channel to ensure our proposition is seamless across our UK network.”
Seal has recruited Dominic Sheahan to Kent Reliance as senior business development manager for the South West region. Having previously worked as business development manager with Metro Bank, Sheahan has over 16 years’ experience within the intermediary mortgage market, and has also worked for Bank of Scotland and Commercial First.
Seal said: “Kent Reliance has a fantastic track record of building strong relationships with intermediaries and recruiting the right people who buy into our broker centric philosophy.
“Dominic’s appointment is key to our 2017 aspiration of being the UK’s leading specialist lender.”
