Kent Reliance has announced the appointment of two regional sales managers and a senior business development manager.

James Forth and Alan Kimber, previously senior business development managers for Kent Reliance, have been appointed as regional sales managers.

Forth will be responsible for a team of business development managers in the North and West and Kinber in the South. Both will report directly to Simon Cockerill, head of sales for Kent Reliance.

These changes follow the recent arrival of Helen Comben as senior business development manager, in North and Central London, reporting to Kimber. She has 15 years’ experience as a business development manager for NatWest, Intelligent Finance and Nationwide.

Cockerill said: “2017 was a busy year for us as the specialist market grew. Building on our successes, Kent Reliance continues to invest in ensuring positive customer outcomes remain at the centre of everything we do, by recruiting the best industry professionals.”

“James and Alan’s appointments are well deserved and it’s great to see internal progression at Kent Reliance which is a clear endorsement of the business’ investment in talent. Helen’s extensive experience in the role of BDM will also be a valuable asset to the team, helping to create yet more opportunities in the year ahead.”
