Chetwood Bank has appointed ex-Foundation Home Loans CCO George Gee (pictured above) to head up its mortgages division.
As managing director, George will join Chetwood’s executive committee and take charge of both its ModaMortgages and CHL Mortgages brands from early February 2026.
He takes over from Alan Cleary who has been interim managing director since September following the departure of Andrew Arwas. Alan will continue to chair the bank’s mortgage advisory board.
In his seven years at Foundation Home Loans George held several senior roles including commercial director and customer services and collections director. He has also worked at Paratus AMC, Oakam and Lehman Brothers.
“I’m delighted George has agreed to head up our mortgages division at such an exciting time in our development,” said Paul Noble, CEO at Chetwood Bank.
“He brings a wealth of experience, strong leadership, and a deep understanding of the market to the role.
“His strategic vision and broker-focused approach will be invaluable as we continue to develop our lending proposition, and I’m looking forward to working closely with him as he leads us in the next phase of our growth.”
George added: “I can’t wait to get started in February.
“It’s a great opportunity to grow what is already a very successful business, and I’m looking forward to helping further expand its proposition in the future.”
