Bank makes two senior additions
Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has made two senior appointments, promoting Sally Wright to head of intermediary distribution and hiring Andrea Glasgow to take up the position of head of new business in the specialist mortgages division.
Wright previously held the role of head of propositions at HTB’s specialist mortgages. She joined in 2021 from Vida Homeloans, where she was formerly head of sales. Prior to that, she was a corporate sales manager at the specialist lender.
As the newly appointed head of intermediary distribution, she is tasked with widening the bank’s distribution footprint and developing greater relationships with larger distributors across the specialist finance sector.
Meanwhile, Glasgow takes up responsibility for heading-up new business, supporting existing and new brokers with the bank’s specialist lending proposition, including buy-to-let, semi-commercial and bridging finance solutions.
Both will report to Louisa Sedgwick, HTB’s managing director in specialist mortgages.
“I am absolutely delighted to announce these new appointments. Sally and Andrea have excellent track records and I’m confident they will flourish in their new roles, galvanising the teams to meet the bank’s ambitious targets,” Sedgwick said.
“HTB’s Specialist Mortgages division is undergoing significant growth and looks set to maintain and exceed its current trajectory in lending over the coming months. These appointments will support our growth plans for 2022 and beyond,” she added.
Wright, for her part, said she was delighted to take on the new opportunity to manage both existing relationships as well as to bring new distributors on board.
Glasgow was equally elated, saying that HTB is one of the most dynamic, and exciting places to work in the industry.
