Platform announces major sales recruitment drive
Platform, the intermediary lender of Britannia, has
announced today plans for a major strategic restructure of its
sales department. The move, which will involve the recruitment of a
Key Account Manager and an additional six Business Development
Managers follows the successful launch of a number of initiatives
in 2006 which have substantially grown business
volumes.
The recruitment process, which will take place over the next two
months, will ensure a more concentrated sales presence across
nearly all regions of the UK, giving intermediaries better and more
regular access to Platform’s BDMs than ever before. Platform will
also be expanding its corporate accounts team, headed by Corporate
Relationship Manager Paul Isaacs in recognition of the vital role
that companies such as Legal & General, Premier Mortgage
Services and Openwork, among others, play in today’s intermediary
mortgage market.
Richard Beardshaw, Head of Sales at Platform said: “Platform’s
business volumes have increased dramatically over the past year and
we are keen to maintain this success in an increasingly competitive
marketplace. We recognise the value that BDMs provide to the
intermediaries that they service and to us as a lender, hence our
decision to increase the size of our sales team. Such a move
further demonstrates our commitment to our intermediary partners
and it will not only allow us to further grow business volumes but
will enable us to support the overall strategy of the business
going forward.”
Details of the new roles currently being advertised can be

magazine.
