Kent Reliance aims to meet broker demand with new appointments

Kent Reliance has announced three new appointments, which it says will help it cope with increased demand from brokers.

The firm, which is part of the lending and retail savings group OneSavings Bank plc, has appointed two regional sales managers and a senior business development manager.

James Forth and Alan Kimber have both been promoted from within to become regional sales managers, while Helen Comben has been appointed senior business development manager.

Comben has previously worked for NatWest, Nationwide and Intelligent Finance and has 15 years' industry experience.

"Building on our successes, Kent Reliance continues to invest in ensuring positive customer outcomes remain at the centre of everything we do, by recruiting the best industry professionals,” says Simon Cockerill, Kent Reliance's head of sales.

“James and Alan’s appointments are well deserved and it’s great to see internal progression at Kent Reliance which is a clear endorsement of the business’ investment in talent."

"Helen’s extensive experience in the role of BDM will also be a valuable asset to the team, helping to create yet more opportunities in the year ahead.”
