“Christian will work with our national business development team to continue the rapid growth of our home loans business.
“Christian brings with him an extensive track record of performance, particularly in third-party distribution, and we are delighted to welcome him to the team.”
Mr York also commented, saying that he looks forward to helping further develop the lender’s broker proposition.
“Virgin Money’s unique value proposition has been embraced by customers and mortgage brokers alike,” the appointee said.
“We are strongly committed to the broker channel and I look forward to working with the Virgin Money team and with our partners to enhance and extend our proposition.”
