He gets the promotion after being in a business development role for more than three years
Offshore lender Skipton International has appointed Sean Gauvin (pictured) as senior manager in its underwriting department.
Gauvin has already been working at Skipton for three and a half years in a business development role focusing on corporate deposits, building relationships with corporate clients across the fiduciary, trust, insurance, and asset management sectors.
He started his career as a mortgage adviser for a major high street bank, followed by six years working within social housing. This experience, Gauvin said, gave him insight and perspective as to the importance of security in accommodation.
Gauvin then returned to the private sector and spent the next eight years working for some of the biggest names in retail, corporate and private banking, most of which was spent in the mortgage industry.
As part of our ongoing expansion plans we are pleased to announce the promotion of Sean Gauvain to Senior Underwriting Manager.

“I have been fortunate to work on deals ranging from small equity release loans to multi-million development company facilities, but mainly on residential mortgages locally or buy-to-let mortgages for expats and foreign nationals living across the globe looking to purchase investment property in the UK,” he related.
Gauvin’s promotion comes at a time of expansion for the bank, which has reached the £2 billion mortgage milestone earlier this year.
Commenting on his appointment, Gauvin said he was delighted to step up and take on the new responsibility.
“I am absolutely thrilled to be able to bring my experience and skills back to an area that is really a passion for me,” he added.
Jim Coupe, managing director at Skipton International, welcomed Gauvin to his new role.
“I am pleased that we have been able to recognise Sean’s relevant experience with this promotion,” he said. “I know he is relishing the prospect of working with a committed and professional team.
“Skipton has a strong set of values and places the customer at the heart of what we do. Our colleagues share those values and strive to deliver the best service and outcomes for our customers, and placing Sean into his new role is just one step in the plans we have.”
