Paradigm Mortgage Services has appointed Neil Jackson as a partnership development manager.

Jackson will focus on developing new relationships with advisory firms and working with members to grow cross-sale opportunities.

Bob Hunt, chief executive of Paradigm Mortgage Services, said: “Everyone at Paradigm Group is delighted to welcome Neil on board in this new role that focuses on our mortgage and protection offering, but also covers off all Paradigm Group propositions.

“This role is a much broader one than Paradigm has previously developed; our employment opportunities have tended to be more specific and focused on certain brands however given the breadth and depth of experience that Neil brings with him, we believe we have the right person to operate across multiple businesses.”

Jackson has 35 years’ experience in the financial sector, having held a number of roles at Abbey and Santander after working in building societies, as a broker consultant and an IFA.

Hunt added: “Neil is steeped in financial services experience gained from strategic roles with a building society, insurance companies, a wrap platform, banks, an asset manager, IFA firms and now IFA distribution. His broad knowledge of wealth management and investments, pensions, mortgages, protection and platforms will add to Paradigm's business consultancy expertise in creating and delivering stakeholder value by building and managing on-going, mutually-profitable business relationships.

“We now have a significant number of member firms within Paradigm and part of Neil’s role will be to create greater awareness amongst those businesses about what the separate parts of the Group can offer.

“There is much to be gained for members by looking clearly at what they currently use and what Paradigm can offer and Neil will be focused on delivering real clarity in this area. We are excited to have him on the team.”
