OneFamily has appointed Alan Waddington to be its new director of intermediaries and partnerships.

In this new role he will be responsible for widening the company’s intermediary distribution and developing its network of partners.

Waddington has worked across the mortgage and protection market for a number of years with roles at Guardian Financial Services, British Friendly Society and Vitality. 

OneFamily operates in a number of business areas, including the growing lifetime mortgage market.

This appointment follows recent changes at the top of the mutual organisation, with Steve Colsell appointed as its new chair at the start of this month.

OneFamily chief commercial officer Nici Audhlam-Gardiner says: “OneFamily’s growth over the last two decades has been fuelled by establishing strong and lasting partnerships and it’s that heritage that is our foundation for the future.

“[Waddinton’s] experience will be invaluable to OneFamily as we expand our partnerships and our intermediary network further. He will play an important part in our plans for growth.”

OneFamily was formed in 2015 from the merger of Engage Mutual and Family Investments.
