Accord Mortgages has appointed Nadine Edwards as its new corporate account manager.

Edwards (pictured) is tasked with working closely with mortgage networks and clubs to understand their requirements and ensure the Accord service and offering is developed in line with the needs of advisers across the UK.

With more than 16 years’ experience in the mortgage industry, Edwards started her career as a broker, before becoming a business development manager at Virgin Money.

She joins Accord from specialist lender Together where she was national account manager for more than two years.

Jeremy Duncombe, director of intermediaries at Accord, said: “Having always worked with intermediaries, Nadine brings real insight and understanding to the role and will be a valuable addition to our corporate account manager team.

“Having a sales team which know the challenges brokers are facing every day means we can continually review our offering to make sure it exceeds expectations.”

Edwards added: “I’m really excited to be joining Accord, a lender I’ve followed since my broker days and which has established a great brand reputation. I’m looking forward to building successful relationships with our key lending partners and getting involved with our value-add propositions to ensure we continue to make a difference.”
