Fleet Mortgages appoints new BDM for the North

Jayne Kohl brings over 15 years of experience to her new role, having previously served as a mortgage adviser specialising in the new-build sector in addition to stints at Royal London and Legal & General.

CeMAP-qualified Jayne will now focus on maintaining Fleet’s relationships with advisers and intermediaries across the North.

Ross Turrell, sales director at Fleet Mortgages, said: “In this mortgage marketplace, having highly experienced people who are acutely aware of the wants and needs of our advisory partners is absolutely vital.

“Supporting advisers and developing relationships in this part of the country has been part of her DNA for the last 15 years and we believe she has all the skills and experience to be a huge asset for Fleet Mortgages.

“[With] the complexity of our competitors’ offerings having gone up several notches, we are focused on lending simplicity and Jayne will certainly make a huge difference when it comes to supporting both our existing and new relationships in the North.”

The announcement follows news that Fleet lent over £500m in its second year of lending.

The firm now aims to lend around £1bn in the buy-to-let sector during 2017.

Ross added: “The buy-to-let market is changing, with more change to come, however, we are focused on delivering a proposition which is simple to use, is easily understandable and offers advisers and their client confidence and clarity.”
