Legal & General has appointed Craig Kerrigan as broker relationship manager for its Ignite mortgage sourcing business.
Kerrigan (main picture, inset) rejoined L&G in July after 12 years away and will support the platform’s rollout through mortgage networks, clubs and directly authorised firms.
He previously spent 15 years at the group in operational and relationship management roles across its UK sites.
Since leaving L&G in 2014, Kerrigan has worked across adviser technology, later-life lending, legal services and insurance. His previous positions include national account management roles at Key, more2life and Equity Release Supermarket.
FOUR-PILLAR SOURCING
Ignite combines product, affordability, criteria and property research within one platform, allowing brokers to enter client information once and use it across the four connected tools.
The system provides real-time lender product data and enables advisers to generate documents including European Standardised Information Sheets and evidence of research. It can also support cases involving self-employed applicants, joint borrower sole proprietor arrangements and multiple incomes.
The enhanced version of Ignite was launched in 2023 as a free integrated research and sourcing platform for advisers.
PLATFORM EXPANSION
Kelly Bretherton was appointed head of Ignite in April 2025 to lead its continued development and improve outcomes for advisers.
In February 2026, Ignite completed its first mortgage product application programming interface integration with Lloyds Banking Group, giving brokers real-time access to product data from Halifax Intermediaries and BM Solutions.
Craig Kerrigan, broker relationship manager at L&G’s Ignite business, said: “I’m delighted to join the Ignite team at such an exciting stage of the platform’s growth.
“Having spent much of my career working closely with advisers, networks and mortgage clubs, I look forward to strengthening those relationships, helping shape the future development of the platform and supporting brokers with technology that enables better outcomes for their clients.”
