Mortgage Trust appoints BDM

John will report to Mortgage Trust’s head of sales, Austin Jelfs, and will focus on enhancing and building intermediary relationships in the South-East region.

John has experience in the mortgage industry encompassing 18 years with The Woolwich and Barclays, seven of which were spent as an intermediary business manager.

Austin Jelfs said, "At Mortgage Trust we have a unique opportunity to deliver a truly specialist service to intermediaries operating within the buy-to-let sector. John brings with him an invaluable experience of the mortgage market and his appointment will allow us to provide an expert point of

contact for all of our intermediary partners in the South-East region."

John Strickland added, “It is an extremely exciting time for those in the buy-to-let sector. A healthy competition among lenders has led to increasing product innovation, and strong rental demand continues to offer sound prospects for property investors. Mortgage Trust boasts an extremely attractive suite of buy-to-let products, including the ever popular MT Select range, and I am greatly looking forward to utilising my skills, knowledge and experience in working with our intermediary partners to further establish Mortgage Trust as the buy-to-let lender of choice.”
