Sally Wright to depart Hampshire Trust Bank

In a post on LinkedIn, Wright said that as head of intermediary distribution she “had the opportunity to work alongside our corporate partners, widening the bank’s distribution footprint and deepening relationships with larger distributors across the specialist finance sector”.

She continued: “I embraced that opportunity wholeheartedly, as I am incredibly passionate about this area of the market and the huge importance it plays. I would like to thank all of my corporate contacts, many of whom I call friends, for all the support you have given me throughout my time at HTB.”

Wright continued that she was “very grateful for the skills and experience I have gained during my time with HTB and wish them every success for the future”.

She confirmed she is on gardening leave and would be studying for another mortgage industry qualification.

Wright joined the firm in 2021 as head of propositions for specialist mortgages before taking on the role of intermediary distribution head in 2022.

Prior to HTB, Wright worked at Vida Homeloans for around five years, initially joining as corporate sales manager before taking on the head of field sales role.

Before that she worked at One Savings Bank for over two years as national account manager and has also held roles at Siemens, The Carbon Trust and PruProtect.

A spokesperson from HTB said: “Sally Wright has left the business to pursue new opportunities. We’d like to thank her for her hard work and efforts during her time at HTB and wish her all the best in her future career.”
