James Foster has been appointed director of lender sales, while Paul Davies has taken on the role of head of conveyancer relationships.

He joins the company from Gartner, where he provided guidance to large enterprises on technology and decision-making.
He has also held positions in retail banking and as head of direct sales at Mortgage Brain.
Davies has over 25 years of experience in the property and mortgage industry, will work closely with conveyancers to enhance their use of the PEXA platform.
He joins from Teal Legal and has experience in lending, conveyancing panel management, and conveyancing itself.
Joe Pepper, UK CEO of PEXA, said: “As we look to build on the significant progress and momentum we built last year, 2025 is set to be a pivotal year for PEXA.
“We are strengthening our senior team to match our growth ambitions and to ensure that we can deliver at scale and pace for our customers in the best way for them.
“Both Paul and James are formidable hires who will be absolutely critical to achieving our goals. I’m delighted to welcome them.”
Foster said: “Throughout my career to date I have seen the true power of digital transformation across the whole financial services spectrum.
“I have first-hand experience of just how valuable it is, and helping clients navigate it is a huge passion of mine.
Foster added: “PEXA is at the forefront of this innovation in the property market and there’s no denying the vital role it can play in making lenders’ lives easier, so joining the team was an offer I couldn’t refuse.
“I’m excited to get started and see what 2025 holds.”
Davies said: “My career has been entirely dedicated to the property sector and developing ways to improve the home buying and remortgaging process.
“Ultimately, we can only deliver that vision if we drive efficiencies for conveyancers – they are so burdened with heavy workloads.
Davies added: “Driving innovation in the infrastructure that supports them is vital, and I am passionate about creating partnerships with them that helps do just that.
“I know that my passion aligns with PEXA’s vision, so it was the perfect fit for me.”
