Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has promoted Mark Newman (pictured above) to the role of BDM for East Anglia within its specialist mortgages division.
Mark joined HTB as a lending assessor for new business in 2022 with responsibility for case packaging prior to underwriting, as well as supporting brokers with updates and case queries.
He was recently promoted to lending manager in January 2023, covering the South West region to support HTB’s regional BDM by dealing with new enquiries and reviewing pipeline cases to ensure they progressed smoothly.
Mark will be responsible for developing new and existing broker relationships and promoting the bank’s proposition in East Anglia, whilst ensuring professional investors and landlords are fully supported.
HTB provides professional investors and landlords with specialist residential loans up to £25m for limited companies, offshore entities, expats and foreign nationals, as well as mixed use portfolios and semi-commercial properties.
Mark will be reporting to Andrea Glasgow, HTB’s sales director for specialist mortgages.
Commenting on his new role, Mark said: “The environment at HTB is such that since I joined 18 months ago, I have felt incredibly motivated to push myself and develop.
“Having worked hard to gain two promotions since joining HTB, and building strong relationships both internally and externally, I am excited to help support our broker partners to deliver our award-winning service to their customers in an ever-changing market.”
Andrea added: “Mark’s promotion is well-deserved, and I am certain he will flourish in his new role.
“As we approach 2024, HTB has an insatiable appetite to support all types of landlords, from both first-time ones and professional investors.
“We will continue to strengthen and refine our product and service propositions to achieve this, and I know that Mark brings the right attitude, skills and experience to support this.”
