This follows on from the appointments of Mel Tuffour as BDM and Andy Greenfield as a business development consultant for the network arm of the BDS Group.
Derrick has 19 years experience in the mortgage industry and joins BDS from Advantage where he spent the last three years as regional sales manager.
The expansion is taking place to cope with increased business enquiries, in part due to the launch of its non-conforming sourcing tool Gravity.
BDS continues to look for another BDM for the South East of England to meet growing demand from directly authorised member’s enquiries.
Bob Hope, head of sales and network, commented: “We are delighted to announce that Derrick has joined the BDS Mortgage Group. He brings a wealth of experience and skills to the company which I’m sure will prove of great benefit to all the brokers he will be dealing with.
“The strength and diversity of our offerings has enabled us to navigate ourselves into a position to be able to recruit even in these turbulent and uncertain times and we remain very positive for the future.
Hopefully it won’t be too long before we get another high quality member of the team onboard to enhance our service offering even further.”
