Rixon said: “For business owners and
high-net-worth clients, protecting the
value they've created is as important as
creating it in the first place, yet in my
experience, protection is still one of the
last conversations they have with
their adviser.
“Having spent years working
directly with advisers and
clients on the most complex
cases, I've seen how much
value is lost when protection sits
outside the wider financial plan."

about ensuring we deliver products

Skipton
Anum Mahmood to
national sales director
ANUM
MAHMOOD
fin Bank has promoted
Anum Mahmood to the
role of national sales
director.
Mahmood originally joined as
national key account manager
and has helped bring on broker
partners including L&C Mortgages
and Mortgage Intelligence.
Her promotion comes as Afin
prepares for further growth,
including the recruitment of more
business development managers
and the launch of a regulated
bridging proposition.
Mahmood has almost 15 years’
experience in the mortgage sector,
with previous roles at TML, now
part of Shawbrook Bank, Metro
Bank, The New Homes Group and
Alexander Hall.
Mahmood said: “It is clear that
a lender like Afin Bank is needed
now more than ever and the
reaction we get from our broker
partners is that they finally have
an option for their clients that do
not fit the rigid tick box approach
to affordability and income that
bigger lenders use.
“I am delighted to become
National Sales Director so I can
continue to tell the Afin story and
work with even more advisers
and BDM colleagues who are
passionate about supporting
borrowers, helping more people
get the mortgage they want
and deserve.”
