Second charge mortgage distributor Freedom Finance Mortgages has appointed Gareth Wallace as commercial director.
Wallace joined Freedom Finance eight years ago and has held various roles, including operations manager and sales underwriter.
Prior to this, Wallace worked at Loan.co.uk and Virgin Media.
This appointment followed the addition of Richard Sharp as managing director, and the launch of a refined proposition through Freedom 4 Intermediaries.
Wallace said: “It’s brilliant to take this role at such an exciting time in the homeowner loans space.
“As the UK economy continues to fluctuate, homeowner loans have become an invaluable finance option for customers.
“Last year saw record growth in the second charge mortgage sector and the drivers remain as strong as ever.
“I look forward to working with Richard and the team to capitalise on the growth opportunities that lie before us.”
Sharp said: “Gareth has been an integral member of the FFML team for some time so I am delighted that he will be commercial director, helping drive the growth in our business.
“This appointment demonstrates our ability to invest in a sector that will play an important role in meeting our customers’ future borrowing needs.”
