Mortgage distributor Crystal Specialist Finance has appointed Ben Humphreys and Simon Nicholson to boost its sales team.
Humphreys was named corporate relationship director for the North, while Nicholson has joined Crystal’s telephone account management team.
Humphreys, who joins from Bathgate Business Finance, has nearly 20 years of experience in financial services. At Crystal, he will focus on increasing funding in the distributor’s corporate channel, which serves the professional introducer sector.
Nicholson, who has previous experience in both lender and SME roles, will provide support to Crystal’s broker distribution.
“We continue to see excellent growth in the specialist lending sector, and as more opportunities are presented, we must serve increasing demand by ensuring we have talented and experienced individuals on board,” Jason Berry (pictured), group sales director at Crystal Specialist Finance, said.
“Ben really cares about delivering positive customer outcomes and is a brilliant addition to our team, while Simon is someone I’ve wanted to work with for years. He is full of energy and has a wealth of knowledge which will certainly help our brokers generate more income.”
Commenting on his appointment, Humphreys remarked that Crystal is a great business with an impressive culture and a set of values he can connect with.
“The service and exclusive products Crystal can offer in particular to property investors is a game changer, especially in the current market, and I cannot wait to develop support and experience for our corporate customers,” he said.
“I’ve known Jason for over 20 years and always liked the way he conducts himself,” Nicholson said. “When Jason indicated the business was expanding, I immediately put myself forward, and I am delighted to now have the opportunity to influence others to use Crystal for all their specialist lending needs.”
