Leadbay appoints MD

Assuming his new role on 1 December, Stevens moves over from Leadbay’s parent company Add Momentum. Westerduin will become Leadbay's chairman.

Stevens' role will be to look at the strategic direction of Leadbay, building on its growth over the past three years and ultimately to ensure that it continues to be one of the UK’s leading lead generators.

Elsewhere in the company, commercial development manager Simon Baker will continue to look strategically at the market for new opportunities for Leadbay, Toby Hughes will focus on developing new ideas and products as innovation development manager, Andy Cowell will continue his broker focus and the development of new accounts as sales and marketing manager; and Beth Rosato will continue developing customer support as head of customer services.

Stevens said: “We have taken a strategic look at the business and what we need to do to take it forwards. Leadbay has grown from a start up company just under three years ago to a business that has provided over £80 billion worth of mortgage and loan leads to advisers.

“I will be working with all of the existing team to make sure that we continue to expand this level of growth with innovative new products and an unparalleled level of service to advisers.”
