Safe Home Income Plans (SHIP), has appointed Andrea Rozario as its first director general in a full-time capacity, reports Mortgage Solutions (30/10/07).
The appointment represents the beginning of planned expansion of SHIP activity, following the results of a strategic review of the trade body earlier in the year. As Director General of SHIP, Andrea will focus on developing strategy and communications activity with the range of SHIP’s stakeholders in the equity release industry, including IFAs, product providers, consumers, the media, regulators, consumer organisations and government.
Rozario will begin the role of director general on 3 December and will be based in a central London office.
Laurie Edmans, non executive chairman, SHIP, said the appointment represented an advance for SHIP and highlighted its desire to increase its role and the profile of equity release.
Andrea Rozario added: “There are many possibilities that lie ahead and the role of director general shows a serious commitment from SHIP and the industry’s desire to aid future growth.”
Sixty Plus comment: This can only be good news for the equity release sector. Andrea has a good reputation as an equity release specialist and we hope she will be able to raise the profile and reputation of equity release with the media.
