Mark Shelper has rejoined Pepper Money as a national key account manager.

Shelper (pictured) had previously worked at Pepper Money as a regional development manager between 2016 and 2021, before joining SortRefer and then Tandem Bank where he became national account manager. He has more than two decades of experience in the mortgage industry, having previously held roles at GMAC-RFC, Bristol & West and Aldermore Bank, as well as working as a broker.

Rob Barnard, intermediary relationship director at Pepper Money, said: “I’m delighted to welcome Mark back to the Pepper Money team, as we continue to invest in growing our lending, helping more customers and supporting brokers and our key distribution partners.

“This investment is particularly important at the moment as the ongoing cost-of-living crisis and affordability squeeze mean that an increasing number of mortgage customers are best served by specialist lenders such as Pepper. Mark’s experience and knowledge of specialist mortgages will prove to be a real asset to our key accounts.”

Shelper added: “I’m really pleased to be back at Pepper Money, which continues to set the standard for service in the specialist mortgage market.

“Pepper’s award-winning proposition empowers brokers to help customers with a range of circumstances, including recent credit blips, a DMP as recent as 12 months ago, or Defaults and CCJs registered as recently as 6 months ago.

“In the current environment, this criteria, combined with a hands-on and transparent approach to underwriting, makes Pepper an essential part of any broker’s toolbox.”
