Landbay appoints Stanton sale and distribution director as Brett departs
Specialist buy-to-let lender Landbay has promoted Rob Stanton (pictured) to the role of sales and distribution director as Paul Brett is set to leave the business.
In his role Stanton will lead the sales team and the lender’s national accounts across all distribution channels, which covers networks, mortgage clubs and packagers. He will also be part of the executive leadership team.
He will look to “grow the sales team and develop business across the UK to help consolidate and grow Landbay’s position as the specialist buy-to-let lender of choice”.
Stanton has worked at Landbay since 2018, initially joining as a regional account manager before becoming head of sales for the midlands in 2019 and then business development director earlier this year.
Prior to that he worked at Paragon for just over 14 years, working as a senior mortgage underwriter for around a decade and then progressing to regional manager.
Brett, who held the role of managing director of intermediaries, will depart the lender to set up a coaching and consulting business.

He joined the firm in 2017 and before that was director of business development at Foundation Home Loans.
John Goodall, chief executive of Landbay, said: “Despite the challenging times that we have all faced in the past two years, Landbay is going from strength-to-strength and Rob has proved that he is the right person with the right skills and relationships to help us to continue to grow.
“At the same time, we are very sorry to be saying goodbye to Paul Brett. Paul has been a key part of our business over the past six years and has played an important role in getting Landbay to where it is today. Both I, and the whole business, would like to thank him for all that he has done.”
Stanton added: “Landbay has grown significantly, every year since it was founded, through its focus on brokers and their clients. I want to take this dedication to provide the very best experience to brokers, networks, clubs, packagers and of course the borrower, to help Landbay to continue this growth trajectory.
“I will be spending time to personally meet all of our key partners to see how we can better provide the service that they need and expect, so we are always their buy-to-let lending partner of choice.”
