IMLA fills its top financial services jobs

Top financial services jobs on the board of the Intermediary Mortgage Lenders Association (IMLA) have been filled.

IMLA, which is a cross-industry body focused on restoring mortgage market liquidity, announced the arrival of new board members today (Wednesday 25th November).

Joining the organisation are Kevin Purvey, who works as head of intermediary sales at C&G, Tom Gurrie, a divisional director at Chelsea Building Society and Lee Gladwell, a sales and proposition director at Platform.

Current chairman Godfrey Blight is to step down, along with fellow directors John Heron and Bob Young.

Mr Blight's job is to be taken on by Peter Williams, who was previously employed as an executive director at IMLA.

Speaking after the announcement, Mr Williams thanked the three outgoing board members for their work and welcomed his new colleagues.

He said that their appointments were timely due to the upcoming Financial Services Authority (FSA) Mortgage Market Review.

Earlier this year, Jon Pain, FSA's managing director of retail markets, said that the wide-ranging review will examine lending and funding issues, along with excessive charging and price regulation.
