BDM team expansion seeks to further enhance broker relationships in the capital
Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has announced the appointment of Joseph Lethbridge (pictured) as new business development manager (BDM).
This move is part of an expansion aimed at enhancing broker relationships and introducing HTB’s services to new intermediaries. HTB said it was also in response to increased demand from London-based brokers this year.
Lethbridge, previously an internal BDM at Shawbrook Bank, brings extensive experience in managing complex mortgage cases and a deep understanding of the lending process. His role will complement that of Danny Kiely, HTB’s existing BDM for the City of London and the West End.
