Glenhawk adds BDM for London and South East
Glenhawk has appointed Peter Turner as business development manager for London and the South East.

 

Turner, who originated more than £100m of bridging and term loans in 2018, is the second BDM to join the lender from Shawbrook after Harleigh French joined last year.

He will report to director of lending Nick Hilton and will be responsible for expanding and strengthening broker relationships in London and the South East.

Glenhawk plans to launch several new products later this year and Turner will work closely with the senior leadership team on these.

Turner was a regional development manager at Shawbrook Bank since 2012, prior to which he was commercial director at All Types of Mortgages (now renamed as Impact Specialist Finance), running its commercial and short-term business.

His near 20 years of real estate lending experience includes roles at Commercial 1, RBS and Barclays.

Glenhawk said it completed £10.1m of loans in July and has an active pipeline of more than £38m, as it looks to build on the £66.4 million lent since January 2018.

In November CEO Guy Harrington told Specialist Lending Solutions that the lender was looking to grow its bridging lending to around £100m having already surpassed its £35m target for 2018.

 

Supporting growth ambitions

Commenting on the appointment, Harrington said: “Peter is joining us at a hugely exciting time, as we continue to put in place the infrastructure to support our growth ambitions, including growing the loan book to £100 million and expanding into new parts of the market.

“Specifically, his technical expertise operating in the bridging market and deep broker relationships built up at Shawbrook will be a huge asset to us as we look to grow our footprint in our key markets in and around London and across the UK.”
