The news follows Louisa Sedgwick’s appointment as deputy managing director at HTB, and she will be the appointed IMLA representative. Louisa was formerly IMLA chair, stepping down earlier this year.

Kate Davies (pictured) executive director of IMLA, said: “IMLA has long been the voice of a diverse community of lenders and we’re keen to welcome HTB as our latest member. We look forward to hearing its views on a range of industry issues, and the association will no doubt benefit from the bank’s rich knowledge of the specialist lending market.

“Louisa was previously an active member of IMLA and we’re very pleased to see her return. We look forward to welcoming Louisa and the team to our upcoming engagements.”

Louisa Sedgwick, deputy managing director, added: “At HTB  we recognise the value IMLA brings to its members and the wider mortgage market, it will be great to be involved going forward.
