InterBay adds new hires; HTB and UTB make internal promotions
Several mortgage lenders have announced strategic appointments aimed at enhancing broker support and expanding their market presence.
InterBay, part of OSB Group, has added two specialist finance account managers (SFAMs) and an office business development manager (BDM).
Matthew Butt has joined as SFAM for Greater London, while Nick O’Leary has moved from Precise/KRFI to take on the SFAM role for East Anglia. Josh Williams, previously with InterBay’s Broker Liaison Team, has been promoted to Office BDM.
Meanwhile, Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has announced a leadership restructure, following the departure of Lorenzo Satchell, who led the bridging sales team.
HTB has merged the sales leadership of its bridging and specialist mortgages divisions, appointing Andrea Glasgow as sales director across both areas. The change comes amid growth in HTB’s bridging proposition and aims to provide brokers with a more streamlined approach when structuring both short-term and long-term finance solutions.
Bridging and specialist mortgages will continue as separate divisions with dedicated underwriting and operational teams. However, the sales alignment will allow brokers to access a single point of contact for transactions spanning both finance types.
In a related development, United Trust Bank (UTB) has appointed Fran Arnold as BDM for the North of England and Scotland. Previously a team manager in UTB’s underwriting department, Arnold will now support mortgage intermediaries and promote the bank’s range of specialist residential, buy-to-let, and second charge products.
Her appointment follows the promotion of Chris Pedlar to mortgages head of sales, where he will lead UTB’s BDM team and oversee the lender’s sales strategy.
The lender continues to expand its footprint in the North, recently opening a satellite office in Manchester’s business district. The office serves as a base for its lending divisions and provides a meeting space for brokers and clients.
