HTB adds four to broker support team – The Intermediary

Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has strengthened its specialist mortgages broker support team with four lending managers.

Laila Perryman joined from brokerage Sirius Group, where she managed lending cases for over three years and became CeMAP-certified.

Edward Shannon joined from United Trust Bank, where he was a relationship manager; before that, he was lending manager at Recognise Bank and spent over four years at Redwood Bank.

Alex Mills led inside sales for Australian bank Moula, and Gabriella Csende was promoted from lending assessor to lending manager.

The broker support team provides support when getting specialist mortgages cases assessed, packaged and over the line.

The team is a dedicated contact for brokers across any stage of their lending application or case, and work closely with business development managers and underwriters.

Alex Upton, managing director of specialist mortgages at HTB, said: “Lending managers are the thread in our fabric, intricately weaved into our team to pull together vital information to ensure brokers receive the attentive service they, and their clients, deserve.

“And with these four new recruits offering heaps of personality, experience and energy, I’m convinced we’ve found the golden thread to strengthen our fleece.”
