Kensington Mortgages has appointed James Burwood as a national account manager.

Burwood has been promoted internally following his exceptional performance as a business development manager (BDM).

As part of his new role, Burwood will support Kensington’s wider business strategy and continue to nurture key relationships.

He will report to Helen Cawthra, who joined Kensington as head of national accounts in October last year.

He takes on the role with 10 years of sales and relationship management experience in the intermediary sector, having spent seven years as a BDM at NatWest before joining Kensington in 2022.

Commenting on Burwood’s appointment, Cawthra says: “I’m delighted to see James step into the role of National Account Manager following his well-deserved promotion.”

“James has consistently demonstrated exceptional commitment to our broker partners as well as a deep understanding of the intermediary market.”

“Working together, James and I will focus on driving growth across our key accounts, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that Kensington continues to deliver exceptional service for our customers. Investing in our talent is a key part of Kensington’s growth strategy, and James’s appointment reflects that commitment.”
