Shawbrook Commercial makes trio of senior promotions

David Morris has been appointed director of risk management, while Gavin Seaholme will move into the head of sales role, with responsibility for managing the field sales team.

Elsewhere Ade Akande (pictured) has been promoted to the post of head of MI and analytics.

Akande said: “Shawbrook always looks for areas to improve, and using data intelligently helps us challenge the way we currently do things. This often leads to positive change across our product proposition, improvements to our systems, or can simply provide reassurance that we are doing things the right way.

“I plan to continue with developing a deeper understanding of our customers, our valued broker partners and ourselves to inform everything we do, helping us build and grow together.”

Emma Cox, sales director at the lender, said that the promotions were a sign of Shawbrook’s commitment to being one of the top commercial lenders active in the market.
