Paragon Bank has promoted Tim Sweetman (pictured above), to the role of mortgages national accounts manager.
In his new role, Tim will work closely with the bank’s distribution partners throughout the country, including networks, clubs and specialist distributors.
Prior to this, Tim was a business development manager covering the North West of England and will continue to undertake these duties until the end of May.
He has spent six years in that role and previously held positions at Santander and Countrywide.
“Having worked with intermediary partners and landlords for many years, Tim has an extremely successful track record of building strong relationships, something that will be invaluable as he transitions into his new role,” said Sally Wright, mortgages head of distribution at Paragon Bank.
“Working more strategically with our mortgage network and club partners and expanding our reach with intermediary firms remains a key priority for Paragon this year and I look forward to seeing Tim thrive in his new role.”
Tim added: “My focus now is on developing and growing our relationships with network, mortgage club and other distributor partners, sharing our specialist lending knowledge with them.
“We are evolving how we operate with the trade and streamlining our processes to make us easier to work with, supporting advisers to find the specialist lending solutions they need for their clients."
