TMA, owned by LSL, is creating a standalone brand dedicated to the directly authorised market for LSL Property Services.
The club has appointed a new marketing manager, Lauren Bagley, who came from Legal & General.
Bagley has over ten years’ experience of the mortgage market, during which time she has had experience of both the provider side at L&G and also with networks, including PTFS for five years from 2005 and as marketing manager for directly authorised advisers for two years.
Bagley said: “I want more than anything to ensure that a DA firm or individual gets value from TMA. That’s my main objective and it is what I’m passionate about. Whether it be support with regulation and business development or capitalising on proc fees and ancillary services to help them build their businesses sustainably; I want to create an environment which gives advisers the opportunity to become part of a group of like-minded DAs where we share ideas and are enthusiastic about building their business.”
TMA has also recruited two key account managers, Judith Brandrick, key account manager (north) and Kim Lissner, key account manager (south) who will be travelling to see mortgage advisers.
This is the latest move from LSL, following the launch of its packaging arm, The Mortgage Processing Centre in March.
TMA will have an unlimited number of lenders on its mortgage panel and will act on behalf of DA advisers to secure both exclusive products and higher procuration fees for members.
The club also plans to expand its customer service team in due course and adviser may choose to be paid either direct from the lender or within 24-hours from TMA.
David Copland, director of mortgage services for LSL (pictured) said: “The relaunch of TMA highlights LSL’s commitment to the directly authorised adviser market and is the first step in our strategy to build a brand which is synonymous with everything that is good about the DA market.”
