LiveMore announces head of people, West One names new regional director

Specialist mortgage lenders LiveMore and West One Loans have each announced new senior appointments to support their growth strategies.
Later life lender LiveMore has named Charly Marks (pictured left) as its new head of people. Marks, who has more than eight years of experience in financial services, has worked at both global firms, including Zurich Insurance, and SMEs. She will focus on strengthening LiveMore’s team while maintaining high levels of engagement and customer service.
“I am extremely excited to join LiveMore at a stage where the opportunity for the team and company is phenomenal,” Marks said. “I am inspired by the huge social value impact that LiveMore is able to deliver and committed to delivering exceptional value to our customers through our people.”
Meanwhile, West One Loans has appointed Duncan Abraham (pictured right) as its new regional director to drive the lender’s expansion across the UK. Abraham joins from Together, where he held senior operational and underwriting roles, most recently serving as underwriting operations director.
In his new role, Abraham will work closely with Danny Waters, chief executive of Enra Specialist Finance, West One’s parent company. He will be responsible for leading operations in key UK regions and strengthening industry relationships.
“West One has made great strides in the specialist mortgage market, and I’m delighted to join Danny and the rest of the executive team,” Abraham said. “There is a strong growth strategy embedded within West One, and I am looking forward to working with Danny and others in this business to expand our reach and continue offering flexible, tailored lending solutions.”
