ModaMortgages, a new specialist buy-to-let mortgage lender of digital bank Chetwood Financial, has named Darrell Walker (pictured) as its head of mortgage sales and distribution.
Walker, who joined Chetwood last year, has been helping develop the ModaMortgages proposition and build out the team.
He began his career in financial services in 1991, holding roles with Coventry Building Society, Barclays, Bank of Ireland, Lloyds Banking Group, and Legal & General. He also worked at OneSavings Bank, building and developing the Prestige Finance and Interbay commercial sales and distribution propositions, before also leading the group’s product and proposition function. More recently, he spent two and a half years in product development and sales at Shawbrook Bank.
As Chetwood readies the launch of its intermediary-only BTL lender, ModaMortgages, Walker has been announced as the business’ new sales and distribution lead.
“Darrell understands the specialist lending market inside out, and has been instrumental in developing the ModaMortgages proposition,” stated Andy Mielczarek, founder and chief executive at Chetwood Financial. “We are delighted to have him as part of the Chetwood team.”
Commenting on his appointment, Walker said he was thrilled to be leading the sales and distribution team at ModaMortgages.
“Over the past year, we have been working tirelessly behind the scenes to develop a proposition that will really resonate with brokers and landlords,” he shared. “I think we’ve done just that.
“As a straight-talking specialist lender, ModaMortgages aims to make the BTL mortgages process smarter, faster and simpler, focusing on the essentials to ensure a fast and transparent service. We are building a brilliant team of people who will deliver on the exciting vision we have for ModaMortgages.”
