Wrigley has over 20 years’ experience working within financial services, spending time as both an employed and self-employed mortgage adviser early in his career.

He has since held BDM positions with UCB, TSB and Precise Mortgages.

Ross Turrell, commercial director of CHL Mortgages, said: “Stephen joins us at an exciting time on our journey, bringing with him a wealth of experience which means he is ideally placed to understand the ever-evolving needs of our intermediary partners and deliver the professionalism, insight and support which will make a real impact for both clients and to the intermediary.

“The specialist buy-to-let market continues to generate a vast amount of interest from landlords who are looking to expand and/or diversify their portfolios.

“With competition heating up from a product perspective, and aligned with increased market complexity, the value of a good BDM has never been so important, and we are delighted to have secured someone of Stephen’s calibre.”
