New lender ModaMortgages expands BDM team

Soon-to-launch specialist buy-to-let lender ModaMortgages has appointed George Morgan as business development manager for the Midlands, East Anglia and South Yorkshire regions.

George is the latest addition to the lender’s expanding sales team and brings a wealth of experience to the role having worked in mortgage adviser roles at Create Finance and the Finance Advice Centre. He has also been involved with coaching and training brokers.

ModaMortages is the specialist buy-to-let mortgage lender from Chetwood Financial, a Wrexham-based digital bank that was founded in 2016. Chetwood recently hired Roger Morris and Alan Cleary to support the launch of ModaMortgages and the bank's recent acquisition of buy-to-let mortgage provider CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries.

George commented: “The experience I gained working as a mortgage adviser, including helping brokers with limited company and self-employed customers, will stand me in good stead and I’m looking forward to being able to apply this knowledge to my new role.

“I know a lot of the mortgage broker firms in the area and I love going to different places and meeting new people. My previous roles mean I can see things from both sides of the fence, so I’m excited to use this different perspective of things to bring a fresh new approach to my broker relationships.”

Darrell Walker, director of sales and distribution at ModaMortgages, added: “While I’ve been putting our sales team together, I’ve been looking for people who are honest, sincere, hardworking, tenacious and who are prepared to go above and beyond the call of duty.

“George has all of these qualities and more. He adds another dimension to a team which is full of talent and good people who’ll give it everything they’ve got to help brokers find the solutions their customers need. I have no doubt he’ll help us in our journey to deliver our smarter, faster and simpler buy-to-let proposition to the intermediary market.”
