Matthew Wye Appointed Chief Executive of Pepper Advantage UK

Matthew Wye has been named chief executive of Pepper Advantage UK, with his appointment subject to regulatory approval. Once approved, Wye will take up the role from October.

Wye will oversee Pepper Advantage UK's credit management operations, including the mortgage servicing business acquired from Computershare. He joins from Metro Bank, where he is currently managing director of future bank delivery. Wye brings over 20 years of experience in credit and financial services, having held senior roles at Metro Bank, Crown Mortgage Management, and Barclays.

Pepper Advantage UK stated that it will continue to expand its credit management capabilities across the full credit lifecycle following Wye’s appointment. The company will focus on onboarding new client portfolios, embedding its proprietary credit technology platform Prism, and improving efficiency and service as it further integrates its mortgage servicing business.

Aaron Milburn, the current chief executive, will step down to become managing director of credit access. In this new role, Milburn will lead business development and grow client relationships. Both Milburn and Wye will work together to expand Pepper Advantage’s new business, with a focus on opportunities for clients that leverage the wider UK division.

Fraser Gemmell, group CEO of Pepper Advantage, said Wye’s appointment reflects the company’s strategy of driving operational efficiencies as it incorporates the Prism platform across the business. Gemmell also noted that the integration of the mortgage servicing business acquired from Computershare has given the company scale.

For UK letting agents and inventory clerks, these leadership changes at Pepper Advantage UK may signal ongoing developments in credit management and mortgage servicing, areas that can impact property management and client services.
