Afin Bank has appointed Stuart Benge (pictured above) as senior BDM.
Stuart brings over three decades of experience to the role, including 20 years with Norwich & Peterborough Building Society and stints at both Recognise Bank and Hodge Bank.
He is the fourth hire this year to the lender’s development team as it gears up to support growth across its core mortgage propositions for foreign nationals, the self-employed and high-net-worth borrowers.
“It’s great to have somebody of Stuart’s experience on the team,” said Rob Lankey, national sales director for Afin Bank.
“He brings knowledge of the sector, lots of connections with brokers and advisers across the country and a real passion to help customers.”
Stuart added: "Lots of borrowers want to get on the property ladder, but they can’t get a mortgage on the high street, so where do they go?
“Brokers face the same challenge — where do they go for a deal if their client is a bit different from the norm.
“That’s what I like about Afin and its commitment to helping people who are underserved and are being forced to rent when all they want is a home of their own.”
