Hollingworth takes up the position of account director and starts her role in January. She will join Sally Young and Richard Beardshaw as the divisions’ three account directors.

Guy Batchelor, managing director of Countrywide corporate business said: “We are delighted to have Emma on board. Next year is another important year for Countrywide and with Emma’s wealth of experience in the mortgage sector she will be an integral part of the corporate business team providing us with new impetus to build on the success of the last three years.”

Hollingworth added: “Countrywide is a good, strong company and they’ll carry on getting stronger so it’s a great place to be at the moment.

“In the meantime, I’m going to see my time out of Simplybiz as we still have some really exciting things to do.”

Hollingworth will replace Kharla Mullen, who has been promoted into the role of head of central operations within Countrywide Surveying Services. Kharla will have overall responsibility for customer services and panel management operations.
