He has 24 years of experience in the financial services industry and nearly a decade of expertise in the bridging market. Davey has worked in business development and account management roles with Foundation Home Loans, Seneca Bridging and The Bridging Group.
Druce said: “Strategically, Rick’s appointment highlights Black & White’s commitment to delivering operational excellence and the highest levels of service to its brokers and investors – he brings extensive industry experience to the business along with a passion for building relationships and tonnes of energy.
“Hiring Rick will enhance the company’s presence in the North of England and illustrates our commitment to building a team of experienced professionals dedicated to delivering excellent service to brokers and borrowers.
