Mark Webster has joined UK mortgage servicer Crown Mortgage Management as a director.

He joins as business development director and will be responsible for sales, marketing and client relations, with a focus on existing client management and new contract wins.

Webster will work alongside Godfrey Blight, who was appointed as director earlier this week.

He was previously director of business development at Vertex Financial Services and has over 17 years’ experience in mortgage servicing.

He was also at HML for 16 years and has spent the last 12 years of his career in business development and commercial roles within the mortgage and savings sectors.

Andrew Doyle, CEO for Crown Mortgage Management, said: “Both Mark and Godfrey’s appointments this week demonstrate a real coup for our continued business growth.

“Following a strong nine months in 2013, we now have two highly skilled directors on board, both with extensive backgrounds in the mortgage sector, to help steer business growth forward into 2014 and beyond.”

Webster said: “Crown’s experience across residential and commercial servicing, as well as its expert management of niche products such as equity release set it apart from its peers. I look forward to building on Crowns success to date; the business is well equipped to administer across the full mortgage lifecycle.

“Its specific areas of strength lie in areas of the market that are growing significantly in popularity, which will provide exciting opportunities over the next few years.”
