West One Loans expands sales team

By Bridging Loan Directory 23rd January 2019

West One Loans has made a series of strategic appointments to its sales team, bringing in a wealth of knowledge and experience from across three major financial institutions.

Kevin Glover joins from NatWest where he worked as a Relationship Manager within Real Estate Finance. He brings with him over 14 years of experience within the banking sector. Kevin will be responsible for extending West One’s presence in the North of England, providing support to brokers and property finance professionals specialising in bridging and development finance.

West One has also strengthened its second charge mortgage sales team with the appointment of Sharon Clarke & Pauline Rylands as Relationship Managers.

Sharon Clarke joins West One from the Family Building Society where she worked as a roving underwriter and has a wealth of experience within the specialist lending sector.

Sharon will work with specialist second charge mortgage advice firms based in the South and South West of England alongside our highly experienced Business Development Manager (BDM) team – and will provide underwriting and training support to key partners.

Pauline Rylands will be managing key second charge mortgage broker relationships across the North of England & Scotland. Pauline – a highly experienced financial services professional – joins West One following a career spanning over 30 years, including with Yorkshire Building Society where she worked as an Area Manager within the branch network.

Furthermore, we are delighted to announce that Danny Scoltock has moved from our Broker Support Team to become a field-based BDM, supporting brokers and intermediaries in the East of England, and will work across our full product range of bridging and development finance, and second charge mortgages.

Marie Grundy, pictured, Sales Director, commented:

“With the continuing growth of the bridging, second charge mortgage and development finance markets – and the popularity of our product range in these sectors – it’s important that we have the right team in place to be able to support our broker partners.

“In Kevin, Sharon, Pauline and Danny, I know we’re bringing in relationship managers that have the experience and in-depth knowledge of the market that will add value to the team and the wider business.”
