L&G's network rebrands to Housing Partnerships

The change will bring together all the areas where the Network is active in the housing market, including buying, selling and renting houses, in one division.

By integrating these sectors, Legal & General hopes to promote a more efficient, comprehensive and well-rounded service for the Network’s customers.

As a part of this evolution, Legal & General Housing Partnerships will become the division where relationships across all these areas are developed. This will include access to Legal & General Mortgage Club and Surveying Services, as well as the company’s life and protection products.

As a result of these changes, there will be several management moves within the company. 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.

Stephen Smith, Director, Legal & General Housing Partnerships, 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.”
