Emma Hollingworth and Andy Walton join Intrinsic

Hollingworth joins as mortgage sales director from Countrywide where she was a national account manager working with Guy Batchelor for eight months.

Before that she was head of mortgages at SimplyBiz.

Walton will be protection sales director and joins just over a month after walking out of Personal Touch Financial Services where he was head of sales development.

Intrinsic distribution director Andy Thompson said: “Intrinsic is committed to supporting our 1900 advisers whatever market they operate in. Both Emma and Andy bring real experience and expertise in their respective areas, and I look forward to working with them to really drive our mortgage and protection business forward over the coming months.”

Nigel Stockton, financial services director at Countrywide, said he was sorry to see Hollingworth go but wished her luck in the new role.
