Tandem Bank has appointed Lloyd Turner as southern account manager.

Turner brings more than 15 years of experience in financial services, including over a decade focused on specialist mortgages.

He has previously worked with a range of specialist mortgage brokerages, specialist lenders and high street lenders, giving him experience in sales, underwriting and product teams.

Tandem head of sales and distribution Laura Walters says: “We’re delighted to welcome Lloyd to the team at a key stage in our growth. His experience and knowledge of the regional broker market make him ideally placed to strengthen existing relationships and help us reach new partners.”

“This is a growing market, and Lloyd’s appointment demonstrates our commitment to enhancing brokers’ experience, providing regular contact and faster support, and ensuring Tandem is seen as a partner that is genuinely easy to do business with.”

Turner adds: “This is a market with real momentum and I’m looking forward to being part of a team that is committed to growing its impact within the industry.”
