TFC Homeloans has hired Paul Ormonde as key account manager for the south of England.

Ormonde (pictured) has worked for a number of estate agents, distributors and mortgage brokerages over the last 16 years. He joins TFC from Knight Frank where he was property manager for the last five years.

He will work with the distributor’s partners across the region to drive business, support growth and strengthen relationships.

Nigel Payne, managing director of TFC, said: “Paul’s knowledge of the lending and property markets in the southern region, and his impressive network of contacts, mean he will add huge value to our key accounts.

“Our brokers and partners are the foundation of our business and we are committed to creating an accessible, accountable and highly visible team of experts, across the country.

Ormonde added: “I know TFC Homeloans well and it’s a business with unrivalled specialist distribution credentials, that has adapted, innovated and remained ambitious over 25 years. It’s an exciting place to be and I can’t wait to meet our key partners in the coming weeks and months.”
