Twenty7Tec has announced the appointment of Derek Kilner as the new product manager for its MortgageSource platform.

Kilner joins Twenty7Tec from IRESS, where he was regional account manager for the Exchange portal, and Trigold users in the South of England. Prior to that, he spent nearly 10 years working for Trigold, before it was purchased by Avelo, and later IRESS.

In his new role as product manager, Kilner will be responsible for shaping the future plans for functionality of the company’s combined mortgage, secured and bridging sourcing platform, as well as supporting new and existing clients through their transition to the Twenty7Tec systems.

Kilner said: “Twenty7Tec are a very innovative company committed to revolutionising the provision of technology solutions to the mortgage and secured lending market in the UK. I feel privileged to be given the opportunity to work with our intermediary, packager and lender partners to help them understand how our technology solutions can deliver value and efficiency for their organisations.”

James Tucker, managing director of Twenty7Tec, added: “Our business is growing at a rapid pace, and we are continuously looking at ways we can strengthen our team. Derek is a great addition, as he brings with him a wealth of industry experience that I have no doubt will help us continue to grow our market share in this sector.”
