Richard Hurst has joined Bill Safran at Vizolution as its marketing director.

He will help grow the company and expand into new markets.

Hurst (pictured) has been in the mortgage industry for almost 20 years and joins Vizolution with immediate effect.

He worked with Safran for many years at Trigold when Safran was CEO and will now help Vizolution to grow further within the financial service sector and expand into new markets including pharmaceuticals, telephone companies and utilities both in the UK and abroad.

Safran, CEO of Vizolution, said: “I worked with Richard for over ten years at Trigold and so I’m delighted that he has agreed to join us at Vizolution. He is a hugely effective, strategic marketer who will make a very real difference to the company.

“Vizolution is growing rapidly; we are already working with most of the leading banks and insurance companies and Richard will help us to accelerate that growth still further, both in financial services and taking us into new markets.”

Hurst added: “It is great to join Bill again after several years of working in different companies. Vizolution is an ambitious company and has a great product in vScreen which is going to transform the way that firms interact with their customers.

“vScreen will play a hugely valuable role in the implementation of the MMR, providing solutions to a number of issues that the new rules will create. It is very exciting to look at how the versatility of the system enables it to be used in a variety of markets and environments.”
