Preferred expands product development team

Charnley is responsible for all product analysis, forecasting and modelling, and produces weekly reports for the business.

Charnley previously worked in the Management Information team at Lombard Asset Finance. He spent the last four years as a Senior Analyst, responsible for constructing advanced MI reports for the board and management on new business, margin tracking, asset banding, customer analysis and retention. He was also involved in the implementation of key business projects.

He says: "I was attracted to the proactive elements of the Product Analyst role - the product modelling and forecasting - and the opportunity to provide detailed added-value analysis that is crucial to the business as a whole. The non-conforming sector of the mortgage industry is extremely competitive so this is an exciting time to be working in product development. Preferred is a dynamic company with big growth aspirations and they have made me feel very welcome."

Cate Hillis, Head of Product Development at Preferred, says: ‘The creation of this new role reflects Preferred’s ongoing success in the non-conforming sector and our commitment to continue to provide the best possible products for our customers. We are delighted to welcome Gerard to the team; he has considerable experience in analytical reporting and is already proving an asset to the business."
