Dale will report directly to chief executive, Narinder Khattoare and joins from a senior sales position at Proctor & Gamble.

He built his mortgage experience as a customer relationship manager at Nationwide Building Society and was a mortgage adviser from 2011 to 2016.

Khattoare said: “We are delighted to welcome Gurjit. He brings a rounded background to his new role with us having built up experience of the mortgage market as well as working in a totally different channel.

“The success of our peer to peer platform means we have more funds to bring to the intermediary sector and with Gurjit’s arrival, we are keen to ensure that brokers are including Kuflink when they are looking for a short term lending partner and a proposition they can trust.”

Dale added: “I am thoroughly looking forward to help Kuflink with the next phase of its development.

“I will be working closely with Kuflink’s key accounts as well as assisting in the company’s overall growth across the sector in the coming years.”
