Twenty7Tec has made a number of new hires in its intermediary support and account management teams.

Niki Cooke has joined the business as head of intermediary, reporting to Phil Bailey in his role as sales and marketing director.

Cooke, who previously worked at Intelliflo as a senior consultant joins Twenty7Tec to manage the growing field-based relationship team, and strengthen the company’s strategic position within key accounts.

Meanwhile, Jake Tucker joins the business as national account manager, reporting to Niki Cooke.

Tucker, who previously worked in field-based roles for both iPipeline and Paymentshield, will focus on supporting the roll out of both MortgageSource and MortgageApply to the company’s growing user base in the north.

The company has also extended its marketing, training and customer service teams in advance of what it anticipates to be “unprecedented user growth” in 2019. Staff numbers at Twenty7Tec grew by over 50% in 2018, and the company continues to recruit heavily with a further 14 roles currently available.

James Tucker, CEO at Twenty7Tec, said: “I am delighted to welcome Niki, Jake and all of our new colleagues to the team at Twenty7Tec.

“The pace of technological change in the mortgage market is accelerating like never before, and we are determined to have the right team in place to deliver both the best software, and the best possible service to our customers through this time.”
