L&C Mortgages has appointed Sidney Wager as managing director, pending regulatory approval.
Wager joins from Barclays, where he held senior leadership roles, most recently as head of intermediary market development.
At L&C, Wager will be responsible for executing the strategic plan across advice, operations, marketing, partnerships, and technology as part of the executive committee.
Wager said: “I am excited! It was always going to take something special to prise me away from a long and successful career at Barclays.
“I know the team at L&C well and have long admired the business, as one that constantly strives to ensure great outcomes for its customers.
“There are thrilling times ahead at L&C and the opportunity to be part of the journey was just too good to resist.”
Wager added: “I can’t wait to get started with the team to help drive the business further forward in its mission to provide the UK’s borrowers with the very best advice from across the mortgage and protection market.”
Mark Harrington, CEO of L&C, said: “I’m delighted to bring someone of Sidney’s calibre, knowledge and experience into the team.
“He’s well known in the mortgage industry, with a proven track record and I’m confident that his experience will be a big asset to L&C.
“Sidney is the last piece of the ExCo jigsaw and will no doubt bring a new perspective to the business.”
Harrington added: “He will bring out the very best of the team that has made L&C what it is today, so that we can achieve even more tomorrow.”
