Willson has been a senior figure in the mortgage industry for more than 25 years heading up sales divisions in both Beacon Homeloans and Future Mortgages.
Willson’s most recent role involved facilitating the launch of specialist residential mortgage lender Magellan Homeloans which came to market in August last year.
Rob Jupp, CEO of Brightstar Financial, described the appointment as a ‘massive step forward for the business’.
“Hitting the £500m mark was a great achievement for us but to get to the next level we cannot rest on our laurels if we are to move forward.
“Attracting Clive is a tremendous coup for us. He is one of the most respected mortgage channel leaders in the market and he brings with him not only a hugely successful track record but also strong ideas as to how he can help propel Brightstar forward.”
Willson’s objectives are to build, manage and improve Brightstar’s lender relationships and grow its alliances with networks and clubs as well as open up new channels of business.
