Click2Check has announced the appointment of Michael Taylor as its new director of sales.

Taylor (pictured) joins with immediate effect and will have responsibility for working with advisory firms and other financial services businesses in order to develop Click2Check’s relationships and to help them utilise the Credit Assess product.

He has worked with a range of brands within the financial services sector including the regulator, Trigold and TSB, as well as running his own mortgage advisory firm.

David Jones, director of Click2Check, said: “We are very pleased to be announcing Michael’s appointment as our new director of sales. He brings with him a wealth of business and consumer financial experience and I’m confident he will help us to work with more businesses who need to have the client’s full financial picture at the start of the advice process. Michael’s expertise and relationships will be central to directing and driving our success and growth in the months ahead.”

Michael Taylor, director of sales at Click2Check, added: “We are seeing more financial services businesses trying to get away from allowing the computer to simply say no to their clients, and we are also seeing more lenders keen to lend. I believe passionately that with Click2Check’s technology we can see the end of advisers having to take weeks in order to try and place a case.

“That’s why I am so committed to Click2Check’s innovative technology and the Credit Assess product that allows advisers to have the upfront knowledge of their client’s finances so they can provide customers with the correct advice first time. I’m looking forward to working with firms and to ensuring Credit Assess reaches as wide a customer base as possible.”
