Two become head of broker sales while another is promoted to business development director
Fintech challenger bank Allica has promoted three senior team members in its broker commercial mortgage team – a move that aims to enhance the lender’s support for brokers and their clients, as well as strengthen the bank’s geographical reach.
Charissa Chang and Stephen Spinks have both been promoted to head of broker sales for commercial mortgages in their assigned regions. Chang, who joined the bank back in 2019, will be responsible for leading Allica’s broker presence in the North and Midlands regions, while Spinks, who has been at Allica since 2020, will lead in the South and Central regions.
Michael Mann, who joined Allica in 2021 as a business relationship manager focusing on London and the South East, has also been promoted to business development director.
The series of promotions was in response to Allica’s significant growth since it first launched to market in early-2020. Its broker-facing commercial mortgage and specialist care business development teams have expanded from three to 19 colleagues in that timespan.
“Charissa, Stephen, and Michael have each played key roles in Allica’s rapid growth story to date and will now make an even greater contribution with expanded responsibilities,” commented Nick Baker (pictured), chief commercial officer at Allica Bank. “Their commitment to supporting our broker partners and their clients with clarity, consistency, and collaboration is undeniable. They richly deserve this recognition of their achievements.
“These promotions will enable Allica to provide an even more effective relationship-led experience for our broker partners as we continue to grow. An element of our service we know brokers value incredibly highly.
“I’m proud that Charissa, Stephen and Michael are able to progress their careers further here at Allica Bank, and I have no doubt they’ll continue to deliver.”
