Beverley Houlbrook to lead fraud prevention team

Beverley has previously held senior positions with both HSBC and CallCredit, specialising in the detection and prevention of financial crime.

In her new role Beverley will report to CoreLogic Solutions’ managing director James Neave.

The announcement of Beverley’s appointment comes hot on the heels of CoreLogic Solutions’ recent rebrand (formerly known as UKValuation), which brings the UK subsidiary more in line with the parent CoreLogic organisation - two moves clearly aimed at strengthening the company’s credentials in the property and fraud prevention sectors.

James Neave explained: “These are exciting times for CoreLogic Solutions, and we’ve brought Beverley onboard to drive forward the fraud detection side of the business.

“We were the pioneers in building the UK’s first automated valuation model for residential properties back in 2002, and last year launched what we believe is the most sophisticated fraud detection software available to lenders, FraudMark. Beverley has over two decades of experience in lending and fraud prevention, and her insight and practical experience will prove to be a fantastic asset to our organisation.”

As well as her work in the financial sector, Beverley has led a number of mortgage fraud workshops on behalf of the Council of Mortgage Lenders.

Combined with CoreLogic Solutions’ innovative tools and analytical capabilities, this high level industry status should make the two parties a perfect fit, as Beverley confirmed: “I’ve joined CoreLogic Solutions at a time of expansion and opportunity.

“Its product armoury in the UK is growing and is expected to increase in the coming months. The company already has fantastic, market leading products to offer lenders and we will continue to work in partnership with the industry in order to offer solutions that fully meet their requirements.

“With my background I know how existing banking systems and lending strategies work and where operational efficiencies can be made. We believe we can help lenders save millions of pounds by reducing the number of fraudulent applications that slip through the net.”
