Martin Reynolds, chief executive of Simplybiz Mortgages, has been awarded the Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) Fellowship in recognition of his leadership and long-standing service to the mortgage profession.
The Fellowship, introduced in 2018, acknowledges individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to AMI and the wider market.
Reynolds received the accolade at the AMI Annual Dinner last week, where AMI CEO Stephanie Charman highlighted his influence and commitment to the industry.
Reynolds has more than 30 years’ experience in the mortgage sector and has led Simplybiz Mortgages for 13 years.
His previous career includes senior roles across both intermediary distribution and lending. He served on the AMI board for nine years, including a three-year term as chair from January 2018 to December 2020.
During his tenure, he initiated both the Protection Review and the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Viewpoint – two initiatives that have since become embedded in the industry’s strategic priorities.
Commenting on the Fellowship, Reynolds said: “AMI plays an essential role in the ongoing sustainability – and success – of the mortgage profession, with a tireless commitment to championing the best interests of the intermediary community and the importance of advice.
“It’s an honour to be recognised by such a worthwhile organisation, and I’m proud that they view me as having contributed to both their work, and that of the wider market.”
