Commenting on the appointment, Jeremy Russ said: “2007 is going to be an extremely important year for the Beacon Group as we work to develop our unique product offering and establish ourselves as a serious force in the non-conforming market. The appointment of Nicola as Group Marketing Manager is part of this growth strategy and we look forward to benefiting from her extensive experience and knowledge of the market.
Nicola Severn added: “I am extremely excited to be joining Beacon at this time. Non-conforming lending is set for strong growth, and the distribution mix between lenders, brokers and packagers is constantly evolving. With such a varied and all-encompassing mix of businesses within the Group, there is a huge opportunity for the marketing function to help Beacon achieve its business objectives. I am greatly looking forward to working with the team at Beacon, and our intermediary partners to develop the Beacon Group brand offering, and establish Beacon Homeloans as the non-conforming lender of choice."
