CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries commercial director Ross Turrell (pictured above), has announced his retirement.
Ross, who has spent more than four years in his current role, is retiring after 40 years in financial services.
This is his second spell with CHL after joining them in 1998 as a business development manager, before working his way up to sales manager and then national field manager.
He subsequently worked as a sales director with Fleet Mortgages and head of sales for KSEYE Bridging, before rejoining CHL in 2020.
Ross will be replaced by Darrell Walker, the director of sales and distribution for the recently-launched lender ModaMortgages. After this, he will become group sales director for both brands.
“After more than four decades working in financial services, now seems a good time to step back and hand over the reins to someone new,” said Ross. “I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with my family and having more time to spend pursuing some of my pastimes.
“I’m passing on the baton into the very capable hands of Darrell and I’m sure he’ll do an excellent job helping drive CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries forward in the next stage of its journey.”
Darrell added: “I’m delighted to be offered this opportunity to be the sales director for both CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries and ModaMortgages.
"Both lenders are entering a very exciting time in their evolution, and I can’t wait to apply some of the positive values we’ve nurtured and built into the ModaMortgages’ proposition and share them across the CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries’ brand."
