Legal & General Mortgage Club has announced the promotion of Sophie Holloman to key relationship manager.

Holloman initially joined the Mortgage Club’s support services team, before progressing to the position of telephone relationship manager, where she was instrumental in growing the business’ client base and driving the adoption of technology within these firms.

In her new role, Holloman will be responsible for developing new and existing relationships with a number of key partners as well as recruiting new accounts. This includes equipping existing clients with the right tools, technical guidance, wider industry knowledge, and access to new lenders.

She will act as an extension to clients’ teams, offering technical expertise and guiding them as they drive their businesses forward.

Holloman’s promotion comes as Legal & General Mortgage Club expands its relationship teams. Having grown the team from three to seven in February this year, the mortgage club is currently recruiting for an additional two telephone relationship managers, to fill Holloman’s position alongside another vacancy.

Clare Beardmore, head of broker and propositions, Legal & General Mortgage Club, said: “I’m hugely proud to announce this promotion from within [the] mortgage club and equally excited about Sophie’s next chapter with us as key relationship manager. Sophie is a prime example of how much we value our own homegrown talent. When we have talented and passionate individuals like Sophie, we know how it important it is that we support them with the right opportunities and training to make sure they can fulfil their potential. Sophie has already demonstrated that she is an invaluable member of our team, and we have no doubt that she will continue to play a key role in the business success of our growing client base.

“I would also like to pass my thanks and heartiest congratulations to Adam Sheldon, for everything he has done for [the] mortgage club in his time as key relationship manager, and I wish him all the best for his next adventure.”

Holloman added: “I’m delighted to get stuck into my new role at Legal & General Mortgage Club and can’t wait to play an even bigger role in this growing team as it goes from strength-to-strength. I’ve learnt a great deal in my journey so far and look forward to working closely with current and future clients to give them all the support they need.
