Crystal Specialist Finance (CSF) has reaffirmed its commitment to brokers with the appointment of Dan Morris as Key Account Manager, and has announced new dates for its successful workshop events.

With a national remit, Dan’s role will focus solely on building relationships with brokers, using his experience and contacts to drive new enquiries, increase repeat business, educate the market on the latest lender panel products and offer individual analysis of market trends.

He joins from HSBC where he held the position of Mortgage and Protection Manager, prior to which he was Senior Personal Banker.

CSF has also confirmed the dates of its latest broker workshops: Manchester, Thursday 6th October with Together; Newcastle, Thursday 27th October with Pepper Homeloans; Leeds, Thursday 10th November with Precise Mortgages and Glasgow, Thursday 17th November 2016 also with Precise Mortgages.

Jo Breeden, CSF Managing Director said: “Brokers are the crux of our business, and it is imperative that we have the people, products and systems in place to ensure we can complete as much commercial business as quickly and seamlessly as possible on their behalf.

“I repeat that our ability to review and progress every single application by a team of experienced finance professionals remains a core principle of our service. Add to this mix a dedicated, hugely experienced Key Account Manager in Dan and our service offering improves further still.”

In April, CSF announced a record first quarter with the company issuing terms on £401m worth of business from January to March 2016, a 96% increase on the same period last year. Second quarter results are due towards the end of July.
