The Association of Mortgage Intermediaries (AMI) has announced the results of its latest board elections, confirming five appointments across its constituencies, including two re-elections and three new members.
Clare Beardmore, director of mortgage club and distribution at Legal & General, has been re-elected to represent the club constituency. Tim Wheeldon, chief executive of Fluent Money, retains his seat for the appointed firms board (AFB) constituency.
They are joined by three newly elected board members: Toni Smith, network distribution director at Sesame Network, and Helen Martin, chief risk officer at LSL Financial Services, who will both represent the network constituency. Jason Berry, group sales director at Crystal Specialist Finance, has been elected to represent the regional constituency.
AMI’s chief executive Stephanie Charman welcomed the appointments and thanked all nominees for contributing to a robust democratic process.
“This process ensures that our membership continues to feel confident in its representation,” she said. “I would like to thank all those who stood for election, reinforcing the importance of a transparent and democratic process.”
She also paid tribute to departing board members Ray Boulger of John Charcol and Steve Harris of Sesame Bankhall Group, who are stepping down after 23 and three years respectively.
“With a demanding regulatory landscape ahead, AMI remains strongly positioned to promote and protect the mortgage advice community,” Charman added.
