YouConvey has appointed industry veteran Teresa Abols as senior business development manager, as it seeks to bolster its relationships with the mortgage broker community.

Abols (pictured) brings nearly 20 years of experience in the mortgage and property sector, most recently with GW Legal, where she progressed to senior business development manager and later head of account management.

Her arrival marks a reunion with Eddie Goldsmith, founder of YouConvey and former senior partner at Goldsmith Williams, where the two first worked together during the firm’s early years.

TECHNOLOGY-FIRST

Abols said her return to the sector was sparked by YouConvey’s technology-first approach.

“I wouldn’t be back in the industry if it wasn’t for Eddie, but I feel like I’m back with the best and I’m excited to be part of such an innovative company that really cares about its customers and brokers,” she said.

“At YouConvey, clients can receive, complete and return all documents online the same day. That’s a game-changer. It’s fast-paced, transparent and designed around the client – and it also supports brokers with built-in referral fees.”

She added that her role would focus on re-engaging with long-standing contacts across the intermediary market while forging new connections.

TIME TO RECONNECT

“I’ve spent nearly 20 years building these relationships, and many introducers have become good friends. It’s time to reconnect with those contacts whilst forming relationships with new brokers and letting them know there’s a new kid on the block.”

Goldsmith welcomed her return, describing her as “one of the most dynamic forces in the industry”.

He added: “She has a rare understanding of both the conveyancing process and the needs of brokers, and she’s trusted across the board.

“Teresa helped shape the BDM model we built at GW, and she’ll be instrumental in scaling our broker engagement at YouConvey.”
