Broker Loan.co.uk has announced the appointment of Philip Bailey as partnerships director.

Bailey joins the mortgage and loan business as it enters its next phase of strategic growth.

He said:“With our industry set for a huge and long overdue shake-up in secured loans and wider specialist borrowing, it was an easy decision to join and help drive the next growth phase.

Having witnessed the real value of AI over the past few years, I recognise the advancements Loan.co.uk has made in this sector with its technology are game changing.

Loan.co.uk is driving significant efficiency and value to partners and their clients using cutting-edge technology developed from scratch.

They’re not replacing advisers but making them significantly more efficient and effective at what they do. This genuine ambition to transform how things are done, driving lower fees and more value to borrowers excites me.”

Bailey has enjoyed extensive success over the past 15 years as a growth leader in Legal and General, Twenty7Tec and Meet Parker.

“Aligning technology and great people in large strategic partnerships is what gets me out of bed every morning, so it was an opportunity too good to miss,” Bailey added.

Loan.co.uk is one of the fastest growing fintech brokers in the UK, with more than 110 employees and a technology department of over 30, and Bailey is one of a number of appointments to further enhance the company’s leadership team.

CEO Paul McGerrigan said:

“Phil’s success and reputation speak volumes. He has been a huge driver of growth through his understanding of partnerships, wherever he has worked.

His strategic acumen, technical vision and industry expertise promise to be invaluable as we navigate the future. We are very excited to work with him.”
