Kensington promotes Burwood to national accounts role

Published on

Kensington Mortgages has promoted James Burwood to the role of national account manager.

Burwood (pictured) steps up from his position as a business development manager following what the lender described as a strong performance in the role.

In his new position, he will support Kensington’s wider business strategy while continuing to manage and develop key broker relationships.

He will report to Helen Cawthra, head of national accounts, who joined the lender in October 2025.

Burwood brings 10 years’ experience in sales and relationship management across the intermediary sector. Before joining Kensington in 2022, he spent seven years as a business development manager at NatWest.

Cawthra said: “I’m delighted to see James step into the role of national account manager following his well-deserved promotion.

“James has consistently demonstrated exceptional commitment to our broker partners as well as a deep understanding of the intermediary market.

“Working together, James and I will focus on driving growth across our key accounts, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that Kensington continues to deliver exceptional service for our customers.

“Investing in our talent is a key part of Kensington’s growth strategy, and James’s appointment reflects that commitment.”
