Guy Batchelor to leave Platform

Platform, the intermediary lender of Britannia, announces today that its Sales and Marketing Director, Guy Batchelor, will be leaving the company.

Following a successful career spanning nine years at Platform, Guy will be taking up a new role with Lehman Brothers in the New Year.

David Tweedy, Platform’s Managing Director, said:
"Since Britannia purchased Platform in 2001, the growth and success achieved has been outstanding and has placed us at the forefront of the intermediary specialist mortgage market. The launch of initiatives such as clickdecision and clickapplication and a consistent and strong product offering have contributed to an impressive growth in sales and market position, and generated a host of industry accolades and awards.

“Platform holds a pivotal position within the specialist mortgage sector and we have a number of exciting initiatives planned for the remainder of 2006 and beyond, that will further enhance our aim to become the intermediaries favourite lender.  I look forward to continuing to develop and drive the growth of Platform over the coming months and years. I sincerely wish Guy all the very best with his career and personally would like to thank him for the contribution he has made to Platform.”

An interim Sales & Marketing Director will be appointed until a permanent successor can be found. Guy will retain his role with IMLA, but will no longer act as a spokesperson for them.
