West One names Andrew Ferguson as MD of BTL

Andrew will be responsible for the distribution, sales management, proposition and marketing of the lender’s BTL range.

He had initially joined on a short-term contract to advise on the launch of the range, but has now joined on a permanent contract.

He will now be tasked with delivering continued growth of the new product range.

Andrew said: “I am excited to embark on my new role with West One Loans. 

“It’s a chance to help grow a business in what is a competitive and dynamic market. 

“We’ve already started strongly and taken on feedback from our launch partners to make enhancements to our lending criteria so we can help even more of their clients — so the future is looking bright.”

Andrew had previously served as commercial director at Foundation Home Loans, business head of BTL mortgages at Axis Bank and head of sales and distribution at OneSavings Bank.

Stephen Wasserman, managing director at West One Loans, added: “As our most recent product launch, we want to make an impact on this market, which makes the expertise of people like Andrew critical to our future success.

“Andrew’s experience perfectly equips him to lead this business.”
