He will help build the bank's portfolio management line-up
Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Gavin Davies (pictured) as senior portfolio manager within its development finance division.
Davies brings over 12 years of experience in the property finance sector to the role, and joins HTB from Aldermore Bank, where he worked for over eight years and held the position of senior client relationship manager in the property development team. He was previously a business manager for Barclays Business.
In his new role, Davies will support John Archbold, HTB’s head of portfolio management, in the formation of the bank’s dedicated portfolio management team, which will be responsible for actively managing the live property development loan book.
He will also work with internal and external partners to ensure the book performs. He will be dealing directly with the bank’s development clients during the construction and exit phase of their projects.
HTB also recently appointed a new bridging finance business development manager for London and the Home Counties.
“I am extremely excited and proud to be joining HTB at this time,” Davies said. “The business is dynamic, forward thinking, and ambitious. I’m looking forward to helping them achieve success in the future.”
Alex Upton, managing director of development finance at Hampshire Trust Bank, said he was very pleased to welcome Davies to the development finance team.
“His experience will prove invaluable when dealing with development clients and managing the loan book,” Upton said. “Gavin’s appointment further bolsters our already strong development finance team, which is providing great products and service to the developer community across the country.”
