Specialist lender Alternative Bridging Corporation has hired Radhika Patel as its case manager.
She joins from mortgage lender and advice group TORC24 where she worked for over a year, firstly as a mortgage assistant, then as a mortgage helpline specialist.
Patel has worked in the financial services sector for 18 months and the skills gained in her roles at TORC24 are expected to be key at Alternative Bridging, having acted as a point of contact for clients throughout the mortgage journey.
Patel will report to the lender’s director, James Bloom.
Her appointment also follows the recruitment of Divya Patel, also to the case management team, in February.
Patel (pictured) said: “I am delighted to join Alternative Bridging; the fact that it has been in the market for 30 years is testament to its successful way of doing things and I can’t wait to support brokers with their cases.”
Bloom added: “We’re really pleased that Radhika has joined our service function. In her previous role she proved she could deal with managing multiple cases at once which will be vital at Alternative Bridging where we have a constant stream of bridging and commercial finance cases in progress.”
