Lisa Martin, who quit Sesame Bankhall Group yesterday, is to join LSL’s financial services business as development director later in the year.

Martin has over 30 years’ experience in the mortgage and financial services industry, the vast majority of which has been in growing DA and AR distribution businesses.

Jon Round, LSL’s group financial services director, said: “I am absolutely delighted to bring in someone of Lisa’s calibre to join what is already a really strong executive team.

“This new role has been created to support the significant expansion plans for our AR and DA businesses, and I’m sure that Lisa will make a major contribution to our continued successful growth.”
