CHL Mortgages has announced the appointment of a new business development manager (BDM), as part of plans to improve the level of support it provides to mortgage advisors.
The lender has recruited Sam Dillin to this role, and he will be in charge of the West, East and Central London areas. The move to bring him in takes the total number of BDMs employed by CHL Mortgages to six. It also means that advisors working with the lender now have the support of a BDM across most regions of the country.
Before taking up his new position Dillin worked for Coreco, a brokerage that is located within the capital. He was with that company for half a decade and was employed in various different roles. One of them was as a BDM, but he also served in key accounts and client services roles.
He spoke to Financial Reporter about his decision to join CHL Mortgages, stating that:
“My previous roles working for a broker company have given me an invaluable insight into how the broker world works. Coming from a sales background means I feel very strongly about the importance of building and maintaining relationships.”
Dillin went on to add that he could not wait to meet the advisors that he would be working with so that he could support them when it comes to clients who need specialist lending.
This kind of support from experienced BDMs is something that those with the CeMAP mortgage advisor qualification need, so they can provide the best service for clients.
