In his role, Burwood will support the “lender’s wider business strategy and continue to nurture key relationships”.
Burwood will report to Helen Cawthra, who joined the firm as head of national accounts in October 2025.
He has been at Kensington Mortgages for around three years, initially joining as a business development manager (BDM) in 2022 and before that, he was a BDM at NatWest for around seven years.
Cawthra said: “I’m delighted to see James step into the role of national account manager following his well-deserved promotion. James has consistently demonstrated exceptional commitment to our broker partners as well as a deep understanding of the intermediary market.
“Working together, James and I will focus on driving growth across our key accounts, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that Kensington continues to deliver exceptional service for our customers. Investing in our talent is a key part of Kensington’s growth strategy, and James’s appointment reflects that commitment.”
