In their new roles, Nicola and Sarah — who have almost 45 years of sector experience between them — will use their relationship-building skills to promote Somo’s proposition to brokers.
Nicola will manage relationships with the lender’s new and existing national networks and mortgage broker clubs, while Sarah is tasked with onboarding new brokers in the North, including Scotland.
Meanwhile, Taybah, who will report to Somo’s sales director, Jade Keval, will provide assistance to the wider sales team in order to surpass the lender’s 2023 growth targets.
Commenting on the new appointments, Lindsey O’Neill, Somo’s senior talent acquisition partner, said: “The unique relationship between Somo’s sales and underwriting teams means they work closely together to mitigate risks while getting deals through quickly and efficiently.
“None of this is done through portals, but with the human touch that personable and passionate people like Nicola and Sarah can provide; they are fantastic assets to the team.
“We are also delighted to welcome Taybah who, with her confident and focused approach, is already making a difference in our busy sales team.”
