The team responds to the majority of initial enquiries within four hours.
Wood said: “Being recognised in this way is a wonderful boost and I’m really looking forward to starting my new role within the short-term loan team.
“Day-to-day, I will continue to help process the bank’s short-term deals, working closely with brokers and their clients to pave the way for a smooth transition from initial enquiry through to completion.
“The additional seniority will provide me with an opportunity to learn even more about the demands and intricacies of STL business, enhancing the service I provide to broker partners in the process.”
David Alexander, senior lending manager for Shawbrook’s short-term loan team, said: “Having worked closely with Kim for almost two years, I’m delighted that her expertise within STL business and dedication to continually improving Shawbrook’s offering has been rewarded.
“Our short-term loan team is a small, highly specialised unit; we’re kept at the top of our game by the exceptional demand for STL products and Kim’s professionalism is invaluable to our ongoing success.”
