Paragon Bank has added new BDM Gary Dean (pictured above) to its BTL mortgages sales team.
Gary will work with Paragon’s intermediary partners in the central England region, taking the reins from Joe Bastone following the latter's retirement.
Having worked at Keystone Property Finance, Quantum Mortgages and Together, Gary brings more than 12 years of sector experience to Paragon, with the last decade dedicated to specialist lending in business development roles.
He will report to Paragon’s regional manager of mortgage sales, Sam Debenham.
Gary commented: “I’m really excited to be joining the team at Paragon.
“Having been in the industry for a number of years, I know it’s a well-respected lender with three decades of expertise in the BTL space.
“I can’t wait to get out and about, meet brokers across the region, and see how I can help with anything BTL."
Sam said: “We are thrilled that Gary has joined us, inheriting a strong region which has been closely managed for many years by the recently retired Joe Bastone.
“With his level of knowledge and experience in the BTL sector, along with his natural ability to build relationships, his skills will be instrumental in helping us further strengthen relationships with our intermediary partners across the region.”
Jason Wilde, head of mortgage sales at Paragon Bank, added: “We’re pleased to welcome Gary to the team.
“Having been in the industry for over a decade, working for some well-known lenders, he has hit the ground running.
“We’re impressed with the proactive approach he takes to business development.
“This will help us to support brokers to find the best BTL solutions for their clients, in turn helping landlords to invest in much-needed privately rented homes.”
