He will be responsible for the lender's business in East England
Specialist lender Kensington Mortgages has recruited James Burwood (pictured) as its new business development manager (BDM) for the East region.
Burwood joins Kensington from NatWest, where he also worked as a BDM for over six years. During his time at NatWest, he obtained his CeMap qualification from The London Institute of Banking & Finance.
He will replace Andrew Heath and will be responsible for Kensington’s business in East England, covering Cambridge, Chelmsford, Colchester, Ilford, Ipswich, Norwich, Romford, and Southend-on Sea.
“We are very pleased to welcome James to our team of exceptional BDMs,” Mark Arnold, chief executive at Kensington Mortgages, said. “His experience and expertise will be invaluable in meeting Kensington’s future objectives and strengthening our relationships with our broker partners.
“He joins Kensington at an exciting time in the company’s journey, as we continue to pursue our ambitious growth plans while maintaining a market-leading standard of service.”
Burwood said he was looking forward to stepping into specialist lending and join Kensington’s “dynamic business.”
“With the mortgage market facing new challenges, specialist lenders are becoming more important than ever in providing value to customers,” he pointed out. “I look forward to working closely with my new team, supporting in the growth of Kensington’s business, and developing relationships with Kensington’s partners.”
