Paragon Bank has appointed Sam Waterhouse as a business development manager (BDM) within its buy-to-let (BTL) mortgage sales team.

Waterhouse will cover the West Midlands region and report to Sam Debenham, regional mortgages sales manager for the North.

Waterhouse was most recently a BDM at Landbay for around two years, and before that, he worked at Paragon Bank as a mortgage underwriter.

Debenham said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming back Sam to the Paragon team. With his recent experience out in the field along with his time here as an underwriter, Sam’s skills and experience will be instrumental in helping us further strengthen relationships with our intermediary partners across the region.”

Waterhouse added: “I’m thrilled to be returning to Paragon. Spending 12 great years here, primarily as an underwriter, has provided me with an in-depth understanding of how we’re able to support our customers to find solutions.

“In the time since my first stint, the team has enhanced its systems, processes and criteria to mean the bank can write a broader range of business, more simple propositions as well as the complex cases Paragon has always excelled at. I can’t wait to reconnect with brokers across my region to tell them more.”
