L&G Mortgage Club confirms new roles following LSL departure

Legal & General Mortgage Club has confirmed the appointment of Clare Beardmore as head of broker and propositions.

Beardmore will replace Craig Hall in the role, who has been announced as the new director of new Home financial services at LSL Property Services.

Currently head of transformation and operations for L&G’s Mortgage Club, in her new role Beardmore will be responsible for managing and developing relationships as well as ensuring propositions for the club’s partners and member firms. She will take up the post immediately, reporting to L&G Mortgage Club director, Kevin Roberts.

The changes also mean that L&G Mortgage Club’s new build proposition will now move to the club’s head of lender relationships, Danny Belton. 
 
Beardmore commented: “The last 18 months have given me a deep understanding of digital transformation and the benefits it can bring to advisers’ businesses, perfectly complementing my previous mortgage and relationship management experience.

“I am very much looking forward to building on this knowledge and continuing to work closely with our advisers to make a difference for all our members.”

LSL also today confirmed Hall’s move from L&G Mortgage Club, and stated he will be leading and developing the growth of the group’s new build financial services businesses, including those owned by LSL and those that are part of the group’s distributor brands, PRIMIS and TMA.

Hall is to start his new post in September 2021 and will report to LSL Financial Services commercial director, Paul Hardy.

“Joining LSL at such a crucial time in its growth journey is incredibly exciting and I am thrilled to be leading the development of its new build proposition,” Hall said.

“The new build market has undergone significant challenges during COVID-19 but is poised for growth over the coming years, and I am excited to work with the wider team at LSL to ensure it is well-placed to capitalise on the opportunities available in this area.”
