Fleet Mortgages has announced the internal appointments of two new business development managers (BDMs) covering Central London and the South.

The appointments follow promotions within the Fleet Mortgages’ sales team and see Andrea Gizzy become BDM for Central London and Rob Abdur BDM for the South.

Gizzy (pictured) has been with Fleet Mortgages for two years, working as a telephone BDM to help develop the North London region.

Abdur also has two years experience with Fleet Mortgages, and has been a telephone BDM for the past year covering both the South East and Central London. Prior to joining Fleet, he worked for 10 years in the protection market.

They will now look after Fleet’s many face-to-face relationships with advisers and intermediaries across both the Central London and South regions.

Ross Turrell, sales director at Fleet Mortgages, said: “We are very pleased to announce the internal promotions of both Andrea and Rob to the external BDM team here at Fleet Mortgages. Having spent a number of years as telephone BDMs, working at head office, both should be very familiar to advisers already and have proved over that time they have the drive, determination and skill-set to move seamlessly to these new roles.

“They both have fantastic product and criteria knowledge, and are also personable and keen to help our adviser partners develop their buy-to-let advice businesses. I’m sure both will hit the ground running and make a very positive impact for us as a lender, but more importantly to all those advisers they are there to support.”
