Firms bolster leadership with key senior appointments

Gen H, Target Group, and HLPartnership have all announced key senior appointments as part of their strategic growth initiatives, reflecting broader trends in leadership changes within the UK’s mortgage and financial services sectors.

Gen H, a fintech mortgage lender, appointed Maria Harris and Peter Walker as non-executive directors. The move comes after the recent appointment of Tony Ward as chair of the board.

Harris, previously director of intermediary lending at Atom bank, brings vast experience from roles at Lloyds Banking Group and HBoS. Walker, a chartered accountant, will chair the board risk and audit committee, leveraging his expertise in regulated mortgage lending and debt capital markets.

Meanwhile, Target Group, a business process servicing provider, has stengthened its leadership team with the appointments of Rob Milloy as growth director and Uday Bola as head of solution design.

Milloy’s background spans sectors including telecoms, energy, and insurance, with roles at BT, Vodafone, and Drax Group. In his new role, he will focus on driving growth and expanding Target’s services.

Bola, with experience in the mortgage market at firms like Co-operative Bank and Mutual Vision, will focus on enhancing Target’s lending solutions, particularly through its Mortgage Hub platform.

At mortgage and protection network HLPartnership (HLP), Peter Curran has joined the board as partnerships director, following a strategic investment from BetterHome Group, where Curran had been a consultant.

Curran brings over 30 years of leadership experience, including as managing director of Countrywide Financial Services. His new role will focus on driving HLP’s growth and expanding its adviser network.
