Paragon Bank has appointed Simon Glass (pictured above) as head of mortgage operations.
Leading Paragon’s BTL underwriting, completions and customer relationship teams, he will report to mortgage lending director Lisa Steele.
Simon was most recently senior manager at Ascot Mortgages. He has also held senior roles at Beverley Building Society, TSB Bank and Barclays Corporate Banking.
“BTL is in our DNA and we’ve evolved throughout our 30 years supporting landlords,” said Lisa.
“This is something we continue to do, and an important aspect of Simon’s role is driving positive change, building on our culture of continuous improvement.
“Simon plays an important part in Paragon delivering faster, smarter mortgage applications, whether that’s the complex cases we continue to excel at or more simple propositions.”
Simon added: “Having worked for lenders in a range of roles, as well as experience on the broker side of things, I have a good understanding of how the two work well together.
“I’m excited to bring this experience to Paragon, tapping into it to refine our processes and deliver an even better service to brokers.”
