Key Group has appointed Sarah Hughes as its first national provider account manager.

Hughes brings with her almost 10-years’ worth of experience gained at Tenet Group in a variety of roles including external provider relationship management.

She will use these skills to help define this newly created role which is designed to support the UK’s later life lenders as they work with the various brands across Key Group.

Each brand will naturally maintain its own individual contacts but Hughes will help to ensure the smooth running of these relationships and co-ordinate multi-brand engagement with lenders.

Hughes will report into Gary Little, business development director at Key Group.

Little said: “We are delighted to welcome Sarah to the team as our first national provider account manager.

“Key Group with its range of brands has multiple contact points for providers and a wide range of projects that need to be delivered so it only makes sense to ensure these are as well coordinated as possible.”

Hughes added: “With the later life lending market growing rapidly, there are multiple touch points for providers across the Key Group brands.

“I am delighted to join the team to help better coordinate this contact and ensure that we are able to provide the best possible value to all our provider partners.”
