Equity release lender More 2 Life has appointed Fran Green as national sales manager and Nurlana Kerimli as business development manager (BDM).

Green has over 20 years’ experience and joins More 2 Life having most recently been at Shawbrook Bank, as part of the team that successfully relaunched the brand into the second charge lending market.

As national sales manager, Green will focus on helping the business support advisers and explore opportunities in the later life market.

Kerimli will join the existing business development team looking after the central region.

More 2 Life said these new roles reflect the wider group’s growing support for advisers in the later life market through referrals, sourcing and products. The BDM team will report to Green who in turn will report into Paul Glynn, sales director.

Green said: “I am looking forward to working with the team at More 2 Life and as part of the wider Key Group to promote their diverse proposition in this growing and dynamic market. It is a very exciting time for the business and my focus will be on helping my team to attract new business while leading the national BDM team as they work to support advisers as they grow their own businesses.”

“Having worked in a variety of customer facing roles and as an adviser, I found the later life lending markets potential exciting,” said Kerimli.

“There is so much opportunity and I can’t wait to help advisers support their customers as they look at how they can use their housing equity in later life.”

Glynn added: “At a time of great uncertainty in the wider market, we are delighted to be in a position to add new members to the team and increase our support for advisers. Both Fran and Nurlana will be great assets to the business and I look forward to working with them to help on exciting new developments across the Group.”
