“Ian brings with him extensive knowledge of the regulated mortgage market and will use this experience to help us continue to build our offering and develop our people.

“He will be a great asset to our team as well as our customers and I look forward to working with him.”

English said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Key Retirement at such an exciting time.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity to help customers with their later life lending needs and to be a part of a growing business which is a leader in its field.

“The equity release market is going from strength to strength and I look forward to working with the team to ensure that customers continue to be able to rely on us to help them make the right choices around their property wealth in later life.”
