CHL appoints sales head

CHL Mortgages has appointed Kay Richardson as its new head of sales.

Kay, who joins from Together where she was national account manager, will lead the lender’s sales function, support the growth of its business development team and further strengthen relationships with brokers.

Her career of over 25 years has also included roles at Hampshire Trust Bank and Molo.

Kay is taking over from Mil Consiglio who recently joined Perenna as head of sales.

“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Kay to CHL Mortgages,” said Roger Morris, group distribution director at CHL Mortgages.

“She has fantastic experience, great relationships across the intermediary market and, just as importantly, a real passion for helping brokers and sales teams succeed.

“Kay joins us at an exciting time and will play a key role in helping us to continue building momentum, strengthening our broker relationships and taking the CHL Mortgages’ proposition forward.”

Kay added: “My background as a broker and training manager has given me an invaluable insight into the importance of giving people the support they need to succeed.

“I’m also looking forward to spending time with brokers and gaining first-hand insight into their experiences.

“Being close to the day-to-day market will help me identify where we can make changes, strengthen our service and create further opportunities for brokers and their clients.”
