M2-D&P appoints General Manager

In addition to this, Vanessa will manage all the operational responsibilities of Mortgage 2000’s intermediary businesses.

Vanessa joined Mortgage 2000 in 2001 as an underwriting manager. She joined from The Mortgage Business and has over ten years experience in the lending industry.

Sean Hornsby, Managing Director, Mortgage 2000, said: “Vanessa brings a wealth of operational experience to her new role, as she has been developing the leading processes and procedures that intermediaries enjoy from m2-d&p, today. We have every confidence that she will embrace this new role and using her operational experience together with her understanding of the mortgage market, drive m2-d&p forwards to ensure it continues to be the number one choice of mortgage packager through product and service delivery.”

Vanessa Blount commented on her new role: “I will take this opportunity to identify trends and product gaps in the mortgage market, and liaise directly with the lenders to help provide the intermediaries, and ultimately the homeowner, with products that best meet their needs. The most important aspect of my new role will be listening, and responding to, the needs of mortgage intermediaries. Being able to adapt quickly is what will separate the successful packagers from the rest.”
