eConveyancer has announced the appointment of Sam Kirk as head of sales.

Kirk (pictured) has over 16 years’ experience, including roles at insurance provider Unum, Friends Life, Bank of Ireland and, most recently, Virgin Money where he was national account manager.

In his new role, he will be responsible for nurturing senior relationships with mortgage brokers and lenders, as well as developing eConveyancer’s growing client base, with a number of direct reports supporting him in these objectives.

Karen Rodrigues, sales director at eConveyancer, said: “I’m very happy to welcome Sam to our team at eConveyancer. He has a great combination of experience, expertise and attitude, with a proven track record of developing senior relationships at large organisations and a motivated approach to everything he does.

“We want to increase the number of intermediary partners with whom we work as we recognise that conveyancing plays a crucial role in the mortgage and home moving process, and we are confident that eConveyancer has the right people and technology to make it an easier and more rewarding process for everyone involved.”

Kirk added: “The conveyancing market is one of the biggest challenges in the mortgage process, so when the opportunity came to join a company that is set on tackling these challenges, I just couldn’t resist.

“Karen and the rest of the team have so much expertise and enthusiasm and I’m really looking forward to working with them on helping to make a difference.”
