It aims to respond to growing demand for bridging finance
Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has bolstered its bridging team with four new appointments in its aim to reinforce its commitment to providing top-tier service as demand for bridging finance continues to grow.
Nathan Wilson (pictured far right) joins as senior underwriter, seeking to build relationships with key partners, increase business volume, and develop new products. Wilson, highly respected in the industry, spent a decade at United Trust Bank and was the first recipient of the Benson Hersch Memorial Bursary from the Bridging and Development Lenders Association.
Olivia Colmer-Lynch (pictured far left), previously with HTB’s specialist mortgages for over four years, takes on the role of senior lending manager. She will oversee the processing team and lead communication between sales and underwriting.
Ella Hosier (pictured second from left) joins as lending manager, bringing over eight years of experience in mortgage and bridging finance, most recently from MT Finance.
Barry Ireland (pictured second from right), the new business development manager covering the South East and Midlands, comes from Castle Trust Bank where he served as regional account manager.
Jamie Jolly, director of bridging at HTB, welcomed the new recruits, emphasising the importance of talent, quality, and experience in the team.
“We constantly strive to be better and have strong lines of communication with our broker partners, we listen to feedback, and we act on it,” Jolly said. “Having access to commercially minded and proactive teams is crucial.
“We’ve established a terrific reputation within the bridging market for providing a peerless level of service, and that’s because of our people. With the addition of Nathan, Olivia, Ella and Barry, we are continuing to build out a dedicated team of bridging specialists, enabling us to deliver for an even greater number of brokers and borrowers.
“Growing demand for bridging finance needs to be matched with lenders that can grow effortlessly too, with the right people, and these four new recruits are how we’ll do just that.”
