Foundation Home Loans director of marketing Jeff Knight is to leave the business this month after four years at the firm.

Knight has worked in the industry for 23 years including stints at Pepper, Castle Trust and GMAC-RFC.

He says he will be taking some time off before deciding on his new role.

Commenting on the decision to leave, Knight said he felt his “work was done”, having achieved all that he had set out to do in building a marketing strategy at the lender.

Foundation chief executive Hans Geberbauer says: “Everyone at Foundation is sad to see Jeff leave the business and he goes with our best wishes for his future career. 

“Jeff has been absolutely central to what we have achieved at Foundation over the past three and a half years, and he certainly leaves us in a far stronger position than when he joined.”

Knight says: “When I joined Foundation in 2017, I had a vision for what I wanted to achieve and goals that I wanted to reach with the business.

“Looking at what we have done, our growth, the record business volumes, and the success of our marketing activity, I think that vision has been achieved. 

“The vision of a strategic approach to marketing has been delivered. 

“It therefore makes sense to move on to a new challenge and I would like to thank everyone who has supported me personally and Foundation during the last few years, and to wish all the team here the very best for the future.”
