Pink appoints new finance director to develop 24-hour broker commission

Christine joins Pink Home Loans from another subsidiary of Skipton Building Society and is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). Previous roles include positions for businesses operating in chemical manufacturing, internet provision and software development.

In a recent customer survey carried out by BMRB on behalf of Pink Home Loans, 24-hour payment of broker commission was highlighted as a key driver for customer loyalty and the majority of respondents indicated that 24-hour payment was an important service and ranked it as ‘excellent or very good’.

One of the key benefits of 24-hour payment is that it improves cash flow and allows customers to take charge of their finances, as they know exactly when they are going to receive a commission payment.

As part of the Skipton Building Society group of companies, Pink is in a financially sound position to offer this level of service to its customers.

Tony Jones, managing director at Pink Home Loans comments: “I am delighted to announce the appointment of Christine Husbands to the position of finance director at Pink Home Loans.”

“Pink Home Loans launched 24-hour payment of broker commission in 2001 and it has proven to be an extremely popular service with customers. Christine will be looking to build on this success to further improve the services we offer to intermediaries in this area.”

Christine Husbands, finance director at Pink Home Loans, comments on her role: “I am looking forward to developing services for our customers that really add value to their businesses. We’ve undertaken research to determine what is important to customers and the main focus is to ensure the services we offer meet the needs of our members.”

Pink Home Loans will pay broker commission within 24-hours of confirmation of legal completion.

Pink Home Loans, based in Lichfield, Staffordshire, is one of the UK’s leading mortgage distribution and packaging companies and is part of the Skipton Building Society group of companies.

Pink Home Loans has two lending panels offering its members a choice of direct lender access or packaging facilities in addition to a range of financial products including insurance, secured loans and unsecured personal loans.
