Ross Turrell (pictured), commercial director at CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries, has retired following a 40 year career in financial services.
Turrell, who spent over four years in his current role, will be succeeded by Darrell Walker, director of sales and distribution at ModaMortgages.
Walker will assume the role of group sales director for both CHL Mortgages and ModaMortgages.
Turrell first joined CHL Mortgages in 1998, starting as a business development manager and moving up to national field manager.
After roles at Fleet Mortgages and KSEYE Bridging, he returned to CHL Mortgages in October 2020.
Turrell said: “After more than four decades working in financial services, now seems a good time to step back and hand over the reins to someone new.
“I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with my family and having more time to spend pursuing some of my pastimes.”
Turrell added: “I’m passing on the baton into the very capable hands of Darrell and I’m sure he’ll do an excellent job helping drive CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries forward in the next stage of its journey.
“I’m leaving CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries with some fantastic memories and I wish Darrell and everyone at the company the very best for the future.”
Walker said: “I’m delighted to be offered this opportunity to be the sales director for both CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries and ModaMortgages.
“Both lenders are entering a very exciting time in their evolution, and I can’t wait to apply some of the positive values we’ve nurtured and built into the ModaMortgages’ proposition and share them across the CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries’ brand.”
Walker concluded: “Ross and his team have done a fantastic job building CHL Mortgages for Intermediaries into the well-thought-of lender it is today and I’m looking forward to helping it take the next step in its growth journey.
“I’d like to wish Ross all the very best and hope he enjoys a well-earned retirement after years of dedicated service to the financial services industry.”
