IMLA elects management committee members

The Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA) has elected the members of its management committee for next year, consisting of five elected directors and four co-opted directors. 

Jeremy Duncombe (pictured), managing director at Accord Mortgages, will serve his second term as chair of the committee.

Joining him in the management committee are Richard Beardshaw, head of sales for mortgage intermediaries at HSBC, elected as deputy chair; Andrew Dean, head of intermediary support and new build at Nationwide, elected as finance director; Louisa Sedgwick, managing director of specialist mortgages at Hampshire Trust Bank; and Carolyn Thornley-Yates, head of mortgage proposition and distribution at Hinckley and Rugby Building Society.

The four co-opted directors are Paul Adams, sales director at Pepper Money; Marie Catch, head of mortgage market development at Legal & General Home Finance; Paul Fenn, director of business development at Skipton Building Society; and Nicola Goldie, head of national accounts at Virgin Money.

“It is a great pleasure to welcome those who are new to the management committee, and to congratulate those who have been re-elected for 2023,” Kate Davies, executive director at the IMLA, commented.

“We also owe a special vote of thanks to Kevin Purvey, who is standing down from the management committee after 10 consecutive years, two of which as chair. We are enormously grateful to Kevin for his immense contribution to IMLA and delighted that he will remain on our executive committee as representative for Coventry Building Society.

“I am confident that the new committee, chaired by Jeremy, will be able to build on the exceptional work undertaken during 2022 to grow our representation within the sector and deliver further benefits to all our members.”

The new committee members will take office starting January 1, 2023.
