OneFamily has appointed Chris Brown as a strategic account manager and Laurie Diiorio as a business development manager in its intermediary sales team.
Brown will be responsible for increasing and managing distribution partnerships and supporting business development, to enable advisers to effectively sell OneFamily’s lifetime mortgages and over 50s life cover.
He joins OneFamily with over 25 years’ experience in the mortgage industry, including seven years most recently with Mortgage Brain, where he was a National account manager. He has also held senior relationship roles at HBOS, The Mortgage Business and Halifax.
Diiorio will support advisers, helping them understand the benefits of OneFamily’s over 50’s life cover and lifetime mortgages, and how they can enhance their offering to their clients.
Prior to OneFamily, Diiorio was a key account manager at Vitality UK, where he was responsible for looking after large protection accounts.
Jon Tweed, head of intermediary sales at OneFamily, said: “I’m delighted to welcome both Chris and Laurie to our intermediary sales team. They both have extensive experience in the mortgage and protection markets, bringing with them a wealth of knowledge and expertise.
“We have increased our lifetime mortgage range this year, enhancing our flexibility so all products now have the option for the interest to be paid off, making our products more suitable to a wider audience. To ensure advisers can be kept up to date it is vital we have a strong, knowledgeable team who can work with them. Chris and Laurie can and will provide this to advisers across the UK.”
