Paradigm announce staff promotions and sales support expansion

26 February 2015

Paradigm Mortgage Services, the mortgage services proposition, has today (25th February 2015) announced promotion for two members of staff as well the expansion of its sales support team.

Christine Newell, formerly Partnership Manager at the distributor, has been promoted to Mortgages Technical Director where she will continue to be responsible for dealing with Paradigm members and product initiatives, as well as developing the commercial and regulatory knowledge of those businesses.

Christine has been with Paradigm since late 2007 – prior to this she was a key account manager at BM Solutions and a BDM for Halifax in the Southern region.

Riona Mulherin, formerly Mortgage & Protection Support Advisor, has been promoted to Marketing Officer. Riona joined Paradigm as a graduate and has progressed through the business to her current role. She will continue to support both member and non-member firms as well as liaising with strategic partners, organising events and social media management.

Paradigm is looking to grow its sales support team and is actively seeking a new graduate to initially work on its mortgage desk before progressing to work directly with member firms. The business is also seeking further administration support in order to deal with the growing membership based and business volumes.

Bob Hunt, Chief Executive of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said:

“Given this is not a market that ever stands still it’s absolutely vital that Paradigm adapts and changes in order to reflect both the industry and our dealings with all stakeholders. We are very fortunate to have a great team working at Paradigm and we have ambitious, dedicated and hard-working individuals who completely buy in to the proposition and what we are trying to achieve. This is why we have rewarded both Christine and Riona with promotions and, as we are developing, we need to ensure we have similar high-calibre staff ‘front of house’ dealing with members, lenders and providers.

“Christine has been with us since almost day one and she is highly respected within the marketplace and has become something of a regulatory font of all knowledge – our very own mortgage guru. Our members certainly appreciate the time and support she provides and this new rule will allow her to expand our offering in line with the growth and development of our membership base. Riona came to us as a new graduate back in July 2012 and has been a vital source of information for all our members and partners – she has played a crucial role within Paradigm and I’m sure will continue to add further strings to her bow as our new Marketing Officer.

“These are exciting times for Paradigm and we will be announcing further resource for the business in due course – all of which is designed to help members make the most of the current opportunities available in the marketplace.”
