He will establish and grow relationships with new brokers and professional introducers
Specialist finance lender Mint Property Finance has appointed Simon Micklethwaite (pictured) as senior business development manager, further expanding the firm’s sales department.
Micklethwaite brings over 25 years of finance industry experience to the specialist lender. His career began at HSBC, where he spent 18 years in various roles including international business banking manager. He then moved to Roma Finance, where he took the role of business development manager, before stints at both Revverbank and Reward Finance Group, where he was business development director for Yorkshire.
At Mint, Micklethwaite will be responsible for supporting growth plans by establishing and developing relationships with new brokers and professional introducers.
His appointment follows the recruitment of Steve Smith as head of sales.
“I am delighted to welcome Simon to the team,” Smith stated in a post announcing the appointment. “I have known Simon for many years, and he brings with him a wealth of relevant industry experience and knowledge. I know he will thrive in our relationship-driven, supportive environment, and am very happy he has chosen us for the next successful stage in his career.”
Commenting on his appointment, Micklethwaite said that he was looking forward to helping Mint grow its business from what was already a strong base.
“I am very much looking forward to working with Steve again and rekindling some fantastic working relationships in the bridging and development sector,” he stated.
The Cheshire-based specialist lender, formerly known as Mint Bridging, said it had enjoyed near sustained year-on-year growth since inception in 2011 and, just last month, reported its highest number of enquiries on record.
