Lender hires relationship manager for the North and North West of England
Short-term property finance specialist Signature Property Finance has announced the appointment of Paul Ratcliffe (pictured) as relationship manager for the North and North West of England.
Ratcliffe, who brings more than 30 years of experience to the role, has previously held similar positions with Yorkshire Bank and Santander.
“It is gratifying that the continued growth and success of Signature allows us to attract individuals of Paul’s calibre and following in the region,” remarked Thomas Howells, chief operating officer at Signature.
“The North West, in particular, is one region we know we could do more business, as brokers come to understand the way we work and our commitment to providing the certainty of funding their property developer clients are seeking.
“Paul has a great reputation for his approachable, engaging attitude, and he’s ready to work with developers to get deals done, on the terms agreed at the outset. He knows how we work and why we are delivering record lending year on year, recognising the opportunity our reputation affords him to hit his targets.”
Commenting on his appointment, Ratcliffe said he would make the most of the opportunity to help Signature become the lender of choice for property investors and developers across his assigned region.
“There has been a lot of coverage of the success Signature Property Finance has enjoyed in recent years, and when the opportunity presented itself, I knew this role was too good to turn down,” he added.
“It is clearly a well-managed business with a defined strategic growth plan, driven by an experienced senior team. I have good connections across the North and North West, particularly in Manchester, Bradford and Sheffield, where I intend to put Signature on the property finance map.”
