In her new role Gallagher will now be handling the day-to-day relationship management of LendInvest’s distribution network, including mortgage clubs and networks.

She will also be focussing on developing and delivering strategic marketing initiatives, helping to engage potential partners with the business.

Gallagher joined LendInvest as a business development manager in 2019  after having held previous roles at Vida Home loans, Foundation Home Loans and Masthaven.

Sophie Mitchell-Charman, sales director at LendInvest, said: “Over the last few years Jan has been an incremental addition to our business development team, driving strong business in the North.

“This transition is a natural one for Jan, who already played an important role in managing relationships with our key accounts: this new opportunity is a perfect opportunity for her to develop our strategy in this area further.”

Gallagher added: “As LendInvest continues to move from strength to strength this year with product development and growth for our lending business, it’s certainly an exciting time to be taking on this new role. I look forward to the challenge; both in broadening our partnerships and deepening our existing ones.”
