LiveMore is expanding its sales and broker support with the appointment of Margarita Genovesa, to help meet the growing demand for interest-only mortgages in the 50-plus age group.

Genovesa, who has been a member of the sales team since December 2020, will take up the position of business development manager for the London region.

Previously, Genovesa has worked in roles including mortgage adviser and branch manager at Santander, operations manager for John Charcol and business development manager at Sainsbury’s Bank.

The expansion of the business development team will help provide customers with better outcomes, according to the London-based lender.

It also recently opened a new office in Bristol and expanded its lending into Scotland.  

Commenting on her appointment, Genovesa says: “I’m really looking forward to this new role and being able to meet more brokers from the London catchment and spread the word about LiveMore.”

“It’s an exciting time for us as we have so many developments in our offering to make it easier for brokers’ customers aged 50 to 90+ to enjoy their later life.”

LiveMore managing director of sales Alison Pallett adds: “Margarita’s experience and knowledge of the sector will help us to further widen our reach within this underserved market and her promotion is a natural and well-deserved progression within the team.”
