In his role as non-executive director, Prestedge will support the Board of Twenty7Tec in group strategy, operations, and oversight.
Prestedge commented: "My career has been characterised by working in high-growth, fast-changing environments and so I am looking forward to helping Twenty7Tec as it looks to build on its market-leading mortgage tech status.
“James and his team have clearly created a company that is well set to flourish further over coming years and I'm looking forward to being part of the next chapter."
Twenty7Tec CEO, James Tucker, added: “Tony's appointment is indicative of the strong progress we have made in establishing ourselves as a key strategic partner to many of the leading lender and distribution businesses in the mortgage market. As we enter the next stage of our growth, Tony will be invaluable in helping us to continue to scale our business both organically and through acquisition.”
