The change will integrate all the areas where the network is active in the housing market, including buying, selling and renting houses, into one division.
Legal & General Housing Partnerships will become the division where relationships across all these areas are developed, including access to Legal & General Mortgage Club and Surveying Services, as well as the company’s life and protection products.
There will be several management moves within the company, as Stephen Smith will become director, housing partnerships, reporting in to Mark Holweger, managing director, partnerships, and Martin Noone will become managing director, workplace health & protection.
Smith said: “These changes reflect the diversity of contacts we have across the housing industry.
“We work with mortgage lenders, conveyancers, surveyors, and estate agents amongst others and this evolutionary step will allow us to work with all our partner firms in the most effective way.
“We believe the housing market is one of the most important industries in the UK and that this importance is only likely to increase. These changes will allow us to offer our partner firms a growing relationship as well as the best services and products now and in the future.”
