Pepper Money hires national key account manager

Pepper Money has announced that Mark Shelper (pictured) has rejoined the specialist lender as a national key account manager.

Shelper has more than two decades of experience in the mortgage industry, having previously held roles at GMAC-RFC, Bristol & West, and Aldermore Bank, as well as working as a broker.

He previously worked at Pepper Money as a regional development manager between 2016 and 2021, before joining SortRefer and then Tandem Bank, where he also became national account manager.

“I’m delighted to welcome Mark back to the Pepper Money team, as we continue to invest in growing our lending, helping more customers and supporting brokers and our key distribution partners,” said Rob Barnard, intermediary relationship director at Pepper Money.

“This investment is particularly important at the moment as the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and affordability squeeze mean that an increasing number of mortgage customers are best served by specialist lenders such as Pepper.”

Barnard added that Shelper’s experience and knowledge of specialist mortgages would prove to be a real asset to Pepper Money’s key accounts.

Commenting on his appointment, Shelper said he was really pleased to be back at Pepper Money.

“It continues to set the standard for service in the specialist mortgage market,” he said. “Pepper’s award-winning proposition empowers brokers to help customers with a range of circumstances, including recent credit blips, a debt management plan as recent as 12 months ago, or defaults and county court judgements registered as recently as six months ago.

“In the current environment, this criteria, combined with a hands-on and transparent approach to underwriting, makes Pepper an essential part of any broker’s toolbox.”
