SortRefer has appointed Jo Prendergast as regional account manager for the south west.

She joins after nine years with Siemens Financial Services.

Prendergast will report to Phil Goff, who is head of sales at the online conveyancing platform.

Her appointment fills the last post in SortRefer’s sales team, which now includes five regional account managers and five internal telephone account managers.

Kevin Tunnicliffe, SortRefer’s CEO, said having a team which includes external and internal account managers has proved to be successful and very popular with SortRefer users.

He said: “Advisers have the opportunity to find out about SortRefer face to face through our external regional account managers but also have a crucial named account manager they can rely on in house, if they need help with a particular case.

We are particularly delighted to welcome Jo Prendergast to SortRefer. Her arrival completes our team and I am sure she will be a great asset in building new relationships as well as managing the many successful ones we already have in the south west.”

Prendergast added: “I can’t wait to get started and look forward to bringing my experience of the financial services market to bear on my new role.”
