Mansfield BS, Molo boost BDM teams

Mansfield Building Society and Molo Finance have both strengthened their business development teams with key appointments.

Mansfield has appointed Claire Flanagan (pictured left) as its new business development manager for the South of England.

Flanagan brings six years of business development experience in financial services, having previously held roles at Nationwide Building Society, Uinsure, and Quantum Mortgages.

“Having covered the South of England in previous intermediary sales roles, I have built a strong network of broker relationships and look forward to seeing many of the coming weeks and months,” Flanagan said.

“I’m very excited to have joined the team at Mansfield and with their unique Versatility range, their ability to help many potential borrowers who don’t fit the criteria of mainstream lenders is an area of huge potential. I look forward to spreading the word.”

In a similar move, digital mortgage lender Molo Finance has appointed John Smith (pictured right) as senior business development manager.

Smith, who has over 20 years of industry experience, has previously worked with product launch teams at specialist lenders Bluestone and Masthaven Bank. In his new role, he will lead Molo’s business development efforts in South East England while also supporting key partners nationwide.

Molo has recently become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Australian-based firm ColCap Financial after acquiring the remaining 20% of shares in the company.

“Joining Molo during this exciting phase is a fantastic opportunity for me,” Smith said. “I am eager to contribute to the company’s growth and help to build its future initiatives.”
