Fluent for Advisers has appointed two new business development officers (BDOs) to its internal sales team and promoted a new business development Manager (BDM) to its external development team.

Caroline Alker has been a case manager with specialist first charge division, Fluent Mortgages. Rebecca Cumbo has been promoted from Fluent Loans, the group’s unsecured arm, where she was a loans officer.

James Burton becomes a BDM, having been promoted from the BDO team. He has been with Fluent for almost five years. Originally he was a loans officer with Fluent Loans, before moving on to Fluent for Advisers as a business development officer which is a role he held for over three years.

He joins the two existing BDMs whose role is to manage the day to day external relationships with Fluent’s introducer partners.

Both internal and external teams report to Jeff Davidson, head of intermediaries.

Davidson said: “Fluent Money Group is continuing to expand and our role at Fluent for Advisers encompasses not just our core second charge offering, but also includes our specialist first charge and later life lending propositions.

“We have been delighted that so many of our partners wholeheartedly welcomed the expansion of the services we offer. To that end, it was important that we were able to increase the support we provide.

“Caroline, Rebecca and James are already making a difference and looking forward to further engaging with our increasing number of introducer partners.”
