Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Pippa Betts (pictured left) and Elysia Walters (pictured right) as relationship managers to strengthen its development finance team.
The new relationship managers will be responsible for supporting the bank’s lending directors and relationship team in originating new deals. They will also work closely with colleagues, borrowers, and intermediaries to ensure clear communication is maintained throughout the decision-making process.
“We are thrilled to welcome Elysia and Pippa to our team,” stated Uliana Kuzmis, deputy managing director of development finance at Hampshire Trust Bank. “Both bring their own vibrant energy, new knowledge, experience and, most importantly, a brilliant work ethic and high level of commitment to the customer journey and experience. We can’t wait to introduce them to our brokers and borrowers.”
Betts, who has extensive experience working within the specialist lending marketplace, joins HTB from Avamore Capital, where she was an underwriter. She has also held positions in the underwriting departments at Masthaven Bank, Shawbrook Bank, and Equifinance, where she started her career.
“I am extremely happy to have joined the development finance team at HTB,” Betts said. “From the first conversation I had with Uliana, it was clear that HTB were the right fit and that we had the same objectives.
“I am looking forward to playing my part in contributing to the bank’s ambitious growth plans and in delivering an excellent service to our customers and brokers.”
The other newly appointed relationship manager, Walters, joins from Paragon Bank, where she worked for over three years as a key member of the credit team.
“Joining this business fills me with excitement,” Walters remarked. “I’m looking forward to becoming part of the bank’s exceptional team and in having the opportunity to play a role in HTB’s ever-growing success.”
