Business development team gets boost after seeing high demand for its services
Investec has appointed Chris Watts, Kieran Emmanuel, and Zulfi Islam to its mortgage intermediary team in London, as part of a drive to expand the team to meet the continued demand for its services, and to meet the growth strategies outlined for the business.
Watts, who joins Investec Bank from Synergy Bank, has been appointed business development manager. He has 20 years of experience in financial services, including time spent at the Bank of Butterfield and Harrods Bank, with the majority of his career focused on helping structuring, and delivering complex residential mortgage solutions for high-net-worth individuals.
Emmanuel takes up the position of associate business development manager. He moves within Investec, having joined the bank’s private client lending operations team after graduating from university in 2019.
Islam has been appointed apprentice business development manager.
“This is an exciting time to be working for Investec Bank. The mortgage intermediary business development team, in particular, is seeing high demand for our services, and we needed to bolster the team to continue to meet our growth plans,” Peter Izard, head of intermediary business development at Investec, said.
“We are pleased that Chris and Zulfi are joining the business and to announce our promotion of Kieran within the team. We are committed to focusing on developing our people and helping them to progress their careers, which we believe demonstrates the career progression opportunities within the business.”
