IMLA elects 2023 management committee

The Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA) has elected its management committee for 2023.

The trade association confirmed that its committee will consist of five elected directors and four co-opted directors.
 
Managing director of Accord mortgages, Jeremy Duncombe, will serve his second term as chair of the committee.

He will be joined by head of sales, mortgage intermediaries at HSBC, Richard Beardshaw, who has been elected as deputy chair; Nationwide head of intermediary support and new-build, Andrew Dean, who will take on the role of finance director; Hampshire Trust Bank managing director, specialist mortgages, Louisa Sedgwick; and head of mortgage proposition and distribution at Hinckley and Rugby Building Society, Carolyn Thornley-Yates.

IMLA also confirmed that four co-opted directors are Pepper Money sales director, Paul Adams; head of mortgage market development at Legal & General Home Finance, Marie Catch; director, business development at Skipton Building Society, Paul Fenn; and Virgin Money head of national accounts, Nicola Goldie.

“It is a great pleasure to welcome those who are new to the management committee, and to congratulate those who have been re-elected for 2023,” said IMLA executive director, Kate Davies.

“We also owe a special vote of thanks to Kevin Purvey, who is standing down from the management committee after 10 consecutive years, two of which as chair. We are enormously grateful to Kevin for his immense contribution to IMLA and delighted that he will remain on our executive committee as representative for Coventry Building Society.

“I am confident that the new committee, chaired by Jeremy, will be able to build on the exceptional work undertaken during 2022 to grow our representation within the sector and deliver further benefits to all our members.”

The new committee will take office with effect from 1 January 2023.
