NatWest Intermediary Solutions has appointed Andy Ingham as its new corporate account manager.

Ingham (pictured) replaces Richard Walker who is joining Virgin Money. He will be responsible for NatWest Intermediary Solutions’ relationships with Personal Touch, Intrinsic, Simplybiz and Mortgageforce and will take up his new position on 18 March.

For the last three years Ingham has been in the NatWest retail arm as a local chief executive responsible for 14 branches in Norfolk and Suffolk. He has been with the RBS Group for nine years in a variety of sales management roles. Before this he was with Norwich Union/Aviva.

Graham Felstead, head of intermediary channel, said: “I am delighted to welcome somebody of Andy’s calibre on board. Not only does he have a really good grasp of the intermediary sector he brings with him a depth of retail experience that should be a real aide in the relationships he has with his major accounts. Having worked with Andy previously, I know that he is a determined and driven individual who will work studiously with his intermediary firms to develop strong and profitable partnerships.

“I would also like to wish Richard the best of luck with his new role at Virgin Money. Richard has been an integral part of the development of the NatWest Intermediary Solutions’ proposition and he has been very successful in cultivating prosperous relationships with some of the country’s biggest intermediary firms. We will miss his energy and enthusiasm.”
