He will manage broker partners across the Midlands and the North of England
Specialist lender Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Ross Sheppard (pictured) as business development manager for bridging.
Sheppard has previously worked in the bank’s development finance division for almost two years where he held the position of business development manager.
In his new role, he will be primarily responsible for managing broker partners across the Midlands and the North of England. He will also be working closely with the head of sales to ensure all strategic targets are met within these accounts.
HTB’s bridging team was formed last year prior to the relaunch of the bank’s overhauled product offering into the bridging market. Just recently, the specialist lender promoted BDM Mia House to the role of business development director for bridging.
“The timing could never be better for Ross to join the bridging team in this period of growth,” commented Lorenzo Satchell, head of sales for bridging at Hampshire Trust Bank. “Ross brings a wealth of experience with his development background and will now add a new string to his bow working the midlands and northern accounts with our bridging proposition.
“Again, we have stuck to our strategy to ensure we have the right people in the right positions and feel very confident that Ross will be a huge success in the broker community.”
Commenting on his appointment, Sheppard said he was confident the business could “successfully stamp the HTB brand on the bridging market.”
“HTB has a proven track record of delivering fantastic customer outcomes in new markets,” he pointed out. “You only have to look at the vast amount of success that our specialist mortgages and development finance teams are enjoying.
“We’ve made a strong start so far, but with the team ever growing, and our insatiable appetite for continued improvement and delivery, it won’t be long before our name becomes synonymous with bridging.”
