Bennett has been in the industry for over 35 years and has worked in business development roles for Future Mortgages, Beacon Mortgages and Magellan Homeloans.
Clive Wilson, Brightstar director of sales, said: “Building on our success is clearly our key objective this year. Part of that strategy is to move proactively to provide new and existing introducers with a new resource in the shape of knowledgeable and professional development managers, who can explain in person the advantages of the Brightstar proposition as well as help with product knowledge.
“I have known Chris for many years. We worked closely together at Future Mortgages and Beacon Homeloans and I am delighted to have such an experienced practitioner representing Brightstar. Chris will enhance the link that we have been establishing between our intermediaries and the specialist teams within the HUB.”
Bennett added: “Brightstar has already made a big impact on the intermediary market and I am excited to be joining the company at this time of huge growth. Clive and I have always been part of strong sales teams and I am sure that under his leadership, the new BDM team will prove to be particularly effective in enhancing the Brightstar proposition.”
