Pepper Money has announced changes to its sales leadership team, which the lender says will help it grow.
Ryan Brailsford has transitioned to the role of Distribution Director and will now be responsible for Pepper Money’s distribution strategy and delivery.
In his new role, Brailsford will oversee intermediary distribution across the country and lead the development of key account relationships.
Rob Barnard will continue to lead the intermediary relationships, spending more time representing the company externally, strengthening industry partnerships and leading high-profile stakeholder engagements across the market.
Dianne Corner, national sales manager, will take over responsibility for the field and telephony sales team.
Pepper Money sales director Paul Adams said: “I am delighted to have been able to make these changes, they position us strongly for the future. Ryan’s leadership will play a key role in driving our distribution strategy and supporting our growth ambitions in the coming years, and his experience will help us further strengthen the way we work with brokers across the country.
“Rob continues to be an important asset to the business. Since returning to Pepper Money in 2022, he has played a key role in expanding our presence on distribution partner panels and championing specialty lending. This new assignment will allow Rob to spend even more time deepening those partnerships while representing Pepper Money externally.”
Brailsford said: “I’m excited to take this next step in leading our distribution strategy. Pepper Money has clear growth ambitions for the coming years, and my focus will be on building even stronger intermediary relationships and ensuring we continue to deliver the practical, flexible solutions and consistent service that brokers need as demand for specialists grows.”
