Glenhawk has welcomed John Butt (pictured above) as head of credit policy, to support the development of the lender’s new BTL offering and other products.
John, who will be based in London and report directly to Glenhawk’s COO Damani Johnson, will be responsible for credit policy across Glenhawk’s existing and future product range.
He will work closely with the underwriting and sales team to further refine the lending process, including optimising the loan application process, from assisting with complex enquiries through to approving high loan requests and agreeing policy exceptions.
John joins Glenhawk from Foundation Home Loans, where he previously worked as head of credit policy.
Commenting on his appointment, John said: “Glenhawk has firmly established itself as a market leader in the UK bridging sector, marrying an entrepreneurial and innovative approach with institutional style practices.
“As the macroeconomic backdrop improves, I’m hugely excited to be joining the talented team with responsibility for driving continued excellence across what is already a very strong credit policy function.”
Guy Harrington, CEO at Glenhawk, added: “John’s proven track record establishing credit policies and successfully advising on portfolio transactions and complex credit situations will be essential as we look to put in place the systems and processes to successfully launch new products later this year.
“Delivering on our growth ambitions will require us to qualify an even higher volume of applications, whilst maintaining the highest standards of client service, and John’s appointment is key to ensuring we have the necessary infrastructure to achieve this.”
