The Mortgage Lender (TML) has announced a series of promotions within its distribution team.

Sara Palmer (pictured) has been appointed distribution director taking on overall responsibility for TML’s distribution landscape. She has been at TML since January 2022 as head of distribution where she oversaw its corporate accounts, following a career at a number of lenders including Platform, Santander, and Morgan Stanley. She will also lead the specialist distribution and key accounts teams at TML.

Louise Apollonio has been promoted to head of corporate accounts following a four-year tenure at TML, most recently in the role of national distribution manager. She will be managing the network and club teams as part of her promotion.

Alice Baggott has also been promoted and is now business development manager for the Connells Group. This follows her previous role as corporate account support manager, which she held from June 2021, where she supported key partners.

Steve Griffiths, chief commercial officer at TML, said: “These promotions are a testament to the hard work that Sara, Louise, and Alice have put in over the last year. 2022 was a bumper year for TML where we surpassed our targets and grew the team. We’re investing in our people and these recent promotions are a demonstration of this. Our culture is one of our USPs and the growth and development of our people will continue to be a focus in 2023.”
