SimplyBiz Mortgages promotes Merrett and Daffern to new roles

SimplyBiz Mortgages has promoted Richard Merrett to director of strategic relationships and Phil Daffern to head of lender relations.

The move comes as the mortgage market continues to experience significant volatility, prompting SimplyBiz Mortgages to enhance its support for members.

Martin Reynolds, CEO of SimplyBiz Mortgages, said the promotions would enable the club to “widen our reach and develop our support to members over the coming months”.

Merrett and Daffern will play a crucial role in enhancing SimplyBiz Mortgages’ proposition and support to members, Reynolds added.

Both have expressed their excitement about their new roles and their commitment to help the club and its members grow their businesses.

Merrett said: “I am honoured to take up the new role with SimplyBiz Mortgages, the opportunity to further my personal and professional development with the business is very exciting. It is a privilege to work with our excellent team and partners across the market, and continually develop and improve our proposition for the intermediary members we represent.”

Daffern concluded: “Having worked with SimplyBiz Mortgages for almost two years, I am continuously impressed by the support given to lenders, members and, ultimately, their clients, and I am thrilled to be part of the team driving SimplyBiz Mortgages forward in my new role.”

The appointments mark the latest step in SimplyBiz Mortgages’ growth strategy, which has seen the club expand its member base and support services in recent years.
