Stuart Webster has been appointed commercial director at xit2.

Webster comes to the mortgage and property risk and data exchange firm from parent Decision Insight Information Group. He will be involved in overseeing operational delivery, and will support xit2’s business development.

He moved to Decision Insight in 2007, when he joined property search provider SearchFlow as national sales manager. He subsequently became sales director and prior to joining xit2 ran the expanding Group’s projects as programme management director.

Previously, Webster spent 17 years in retail banking with Lloyds TSB. He will report directly to the managing director, Mark Blackwell.

Blackwell said: “Stuart has decades of experience working directly for lenders – and he’s proven himself an invaluable part of the team at Decision Insight. For this role, that combination is ideal. He’s completely at home dealing with lenders, and he already has experience implementing our growth strategy – helping manage the relocation of the xit2 business last year.

“I have every confidence in his ability to contribute to the growth of the company.”

Webster added: “This is a great opportunity to help build an expanding integral part of a group. I’m looking forward to combining my experience at Decision Insight and my experience in lending in helping deliver our growth plans.”
