Kensington Mortgages has announced today the appointment of James Burwood as a new national account manager, promoting him internally after previously working as a BDM for the company.
As part of his new role, James will support Kensington’s wider business strategy and continue to nurture key relationships. He will report to Helen Cawthra, who joined Kensington as head of national accounts in October 2025.
James has ten years of sales and relationship management experience in the intermediary sector, having spent seven years as a BDM at NatWest before joining Kensington in 2022. He has previously been shortlisted for BDM awards at both the British Specialist Lending Awards and the British Mortgage Awards, in recognition of his work in the East of England region.
Helen Cawthra said: "I’m delighted to see James step into the role of National Account Manager following his well-deserved promotion. James has consistently demonstrated exceptional commitment to our broker partners as well as a deep understanding of the intermediary market.
"Working together, James and I will focus on driving growth across our key accounts, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring that Kensington continues to deliver exceptional service for our customers. Investing in our talent is a key part of Kensington’s growth strategy, and James’s appointment reflects that commitment."
