Aldermore’s head of intermediary distribution Nick Parker, who has worked for the firm for around three years, is leaving the lender.
In a LinkedIn post, Parker said that he had been “incredibly honoured” to lead a “fantastic team full of some seriously talented colleagues across field, telephony and distribution”.
He added that the leadership team had been “outstanding” and demonstrated their “commitment” everyday to make Aldermore a great place to work, with the customer, colleague and broker at the heart of it all.
Parker continued to extend his thanks to distribution partners, who he said had been a “pleasure to engage with day in and day out”.
He added that he was “actively seeking a new opportunity” but would be spending time with his family and was “looking forward to a much needed holiday in the sun”.
He has worked at the firm for around three years, and before that was regional corporate sales manager at Bank of Ireland for nearly three years.
Before that he worked North View Group as an intermediary oversight manager for just under a year and before that was a senior technical decision maker at Barclays Wealth and Investment Management for just over two years.
Aldermore declined to comment.
