Commenting on the appointment, Managing
Director David Tweedy said: “We are delighted to welcome Lee to

enable us to operate more effectively in the current turbulent
market conditions as well as facilitating the implementation of
process and proposition improvements which will deliver an enhanced
experience to our customers.
“I am confident that Lee’s breadth of
experience and expertise in building and leading highly effective
sales and marketing teams will allow us to realise our ambitious
plans in the future. Lee is a very welcome asset to both Platform
and the wider Britannia Group.”
Lee Gladwell commented: “To be joining a
company of Britannia’s pedigree is an extremely exciting prospect
for me and I am looking forward to the challenge of my new role.
Platform is an extremely well respected organisation in the
intermediary mortgage market and despite the difficult market
conditions we are currently experiencing, I believe there are
significant opportunities that we can capitalise on as a business.
I look forward to working with David, the other Platform directors
and colleagues across the Britannia Group in developing Platform’s
customer proposition and working with our business partners to
fulfil our collective strategic goals.”
