InterBay Commercial has appointed Kevin Jones as its sales and marketing director.

Jones is chairman of the National Association of Commercial Financial Brokers (NACFB) and has worked in mortgage broking for 20 years most recently as owner and managing director of Omega.

This appointment follows last week’s news that InterBay has launched new products aimed at the UK small balance commercial market.

“Kevin’s calibre and experience will play a major role in building and growing our business,” said Colin Bell, CEO of InterBay Commercial.

“We want to ensure one of our key priorities is to maintain our excellent reputation with our Key Partners and continue to build relationships. I am confident Kevin will play a key part in taking this role and InterBay forward in the broker and SME market.

“Kevin brings with him a great deal of experience of the commercial mortgage market as well as a great deal of respect from the Broking community. Kevin is a name and a face that is very widely recognised and I am delighted to have him join us later this year.”

Jones added: “I firmly believe that InterBay’s re-entry into the market could not have been timed better and I am very pleased to be able to be part of the InterBay team. We will all be working hard to deliver an exciting range of products as well as delivering a first class service.

“This will enable us to ensure that we make a real impact both to the broker market and the commercial market as a whole. Having been a broker myself for the past 20 years and currently chairman of the NACFB I fully understand the frustrations the broker market has had to contend with and overcome during the past five years.

“Whilst InterBay is not setting out to be ‘all things to all people’ I am convinced we will be able to make a real difference.”
