John Truswell is leaving Virgin Money after 20 years’ of service, with former head of sales and marketing at Kensington, Sarah Green, taking up the helm.

Truswell’s (pictured) departure from his role as head of national accounts follows shortly after Richard Tugwell announced his resignation as director of intermediary sales in February.

Virgin would not comment on Truswell’s plans for the future, but explained that he would be remaining with the lender while he facilitates a handover to Green, who will take on the post with immediate effect.

Green had a long stint of working for Barclays before joining Kensington, seeing her start as senior mortgage propositions manager in 2007 to then move onto head of national accounts from 2010 to 2014.

Before joining Virgin in 1996, Truswell worked as head of financial services at Jayman Financial Services and as branch manager in both Nationwide and Bradford and Bingley.

Virgin has also made a number of changes to the way it assesses affordability today, with loans over £500,000 seeing a maximum loan to income multiple introduced of four times.
