Virgin Money has hired Andy Cooke as a national account manager at the high street lender.  

Cooke’s post is one where the typical focus is to grow trading relationships with a range of brokers, networks and other partners.  

He joins from the Bank of Ireland, where he was a national account manager at the business for four years.   

Prior to that, he worked at the Irish lender for almost two-and-half years as a corporate account manager.  

Before that, Cooke worked for the Mortgage Advice Bureau for almost three years, leaving as a Gloucester-based regional business development manager in 2017.  

Overall, Cooke has over two decades of experience in the financial services markets.

A Virgin Money spokesperson says: “Andy has recently joined the Virgin Money intermediaries national account team and we’re delighted to have him on board working with our broker partners.”
