Somo Bridging is preparing for further growth in 2023 with the appointment of two new senior business development managers and a sales support administrator.
The new senior business development managers, Nicola Hardy and Sarah Kirk, ran a specialist finance brokerage together for five years before joining Somo and bring with them decades of experience in the finance sector.
Hardy and Kirk, who have almost 45 years of sector experience between them, will use their relationship building skills to educate brokers on the benefits of working with Somo and using their flagship valuation only tm and market-leading second charge products.
Lindsey O’Neill, SoMo’s senior talent acquisition partner, said: “The unique relationship between Somo’s sales and underwriting teams means they work closely together to mitigate risks while getting deals through quickly and efficiently.
“None of this is done through portals but with the human touch that personable and passionate people like Nicola and Sarah can provide.
“They are fantastic assets to the team.”
Hardy’s role will involve managing relationships with Somo’s new and existing national networks and mortgage clubs of brokers.
Meanwhile, Kirk has been tasked with onboarding new brokers in the North of the UK, including Scotland, and ensuring existing clients get the first-class service for which Somo has become renowned.
Taybah Riaz also joins the 36-strong team at Somo as a sales support administrator, reporting to and assisting Somo’s sales director, Jade Keval.
Having worked in administration and support for over four years, Riaz will provide valuable assistance to Keval and the wider sales team as they seek to surpass their growth targets in 2023.
O’Neill added: “We are also delighted to welcome Taybah who, with her confident and focused approach, is already making a difference in our busy sales team.”
