The Lending Channel appoints interim Director in growth drive

Simon Cocker has previously held senior roles with Bank of Scotland, Dunfermline Building Society and Royal London Group.

The Lending Channel is also recruiting for an additional Telephone BDM to help bring on board new partners.

Managing Director, Alistair Ewing, commented: “We have spent the last few years establishing the foundations of our business and although we have grown over 500% since 2012, we feel that now is the right time to bring someone of Simon’s calibre into the business to assist us with our planning and strategy, helping drive growth to the next level.”

Cocker added: “I believe the Specialist Finance Market is well positioned to enjoy sustainable future expansion and I am delighted to be working with Alistair and Murray at TLC assisting them capitalising on this. With the way they do business and their approach to working in partnership with lenders, brokers and networks, I am confident we will be able to achieve above market growth rates.”
