Who is taking over intermediary sales at OSB?
Mortgage Solutions reported that Emily Hollands was promoted to group head of intermediary sales and distribution. It did not explicitly describe the promotion as a direct replacement appointment for Cockerill, so the two changes should not be treated as confirmation of a handover.
What other leadership change was reported?
The same report said Enrique Alvarez Labiano was expected to join OSB Group as CEO at the end of 2026, succeeding retiring CEO Andy Golding. That was the expected timing stated in the 1 October report, not confirmation that the transition has since taken place.
