Xit2 appoints Tim Jones

Tim, who joins from MDA, xit2’s parent company, will report directly into MD, Mark Blackwell. His career spans all aspects of the lending, distribution and property transaction processes. During his time at insurer Allied Dunbar – now part of financial services group Zurich Financial Services – Jones led the development of the mortgage intermediary panel, persuading lenders to see intermediaries as credible sources of quality mortgage introductions. After Zurich, he joined First Title as director of business development where he extended distribution of products via solicitors and joint ventures.

Mark Blackwell said, “Bringing Tim in as part of the senior team demonstrates how serious we are about pushing xit2 forward. His background in the industry chimes perfectly with our services and product range; his pedigree is excellent; and his experience in the sector is vast. I look forward to working with him.”

Tim Jones said, “This is a very exciting time to be joining the business. xit2 has built up a lot of momentum over the past year. At MDA, I could see the changes being wrought at xit2 and was impressed by the new direction Mark was taking the company in. I look forward to contributing to the ongoing success of xit2 and driving sales up as part of the team here.”
