Josh Parker joined Fleet Mortgages at the end of December 2018 to support the business development team, after six years with a specialist lender in the later life lending market.
In his new business development manager (BDM) role, he will be responsible for developing new and existing relationships in the South West and South Wales.
Anna Gibbons (pictured) joined Fleet Mortgages working in sales support and she will work closely with Josh Parker as telephone BDM to support advisory firms in the region.
Steve Cox, distribution director of Fleet Mortgages, said: “It is highly important that we have an experienced business development team both out in the field and within head office, easily accessible to our advisers.
“With Josh and Anna now working in tandem, firms in the South West and South Wales can draw upon their expertise, plus the resource and support they will offer.
He added: “This is an incredibly exciting time for the business and having quality people like Josh and Anna in situ means we can deliver everything advisers need in order to support their buy-to-let activity.”
The establishment of the new South West team follows last week’s launch of Fleet Mortgages’ new product range which includes a ‘limited edition’ product offering and a number of criteria enhancements.
It comes following the completion of a new long-term funding deal which will see the lender have access to £1bn in new lending.
