Kensington appoints marketing director

Leading a specialist team, Giles will be responsible for developing and championing new business initiatives, new product/market development and deployment, all marketing communications including the development of the on line channel, and driving incremental value from existing customers.

Alison Hutchinson, managing director of Kensington Mortgages said: “I am very excited that Ian Giles is joining Kensington during this period of significant growth. Ian has a superb track record in the delivery of cut though marketing communications which is a key priority for us. Ian will also help further develop our customer insight capability such that we can increasingly add value to our customers.”

Giles said: “Having worked in the mortgage industry for 14 years, holding senior marketing positions with Mortgage Trust, First Active and Purely Mortgages, I have admired the way Kensington Mortgages has been instrumental in developing the specialist mortgage market in the UK. Its high quality management team and the huge advances it has made in its online servicing capabilities and product developments over the past year mean that now is a great time to join Kensington. I can’t wait to get started!”
