Specialist finance lender Masthaven Finance has appointed Chris Parr as head of sales, alongside Josh Hawker as senior business development manager for the South West and South Wales and Louis Rowson as an office-based business development executive, strengthening its bridging and development finance proposition across key UK regions.

Parr brings more than 25 years’ experience in specialist lending, having held senior roles at MT Finance and Precise Mortgages. His return to Masthaven strengthens the lender’s bridging and development finance offering across the Midlands, North and Scotland.

Hawker joins from Ampla Finance, and with previous experience at Catalyst Property Finance, he brings over 20 years’ experience across property and financial services, with a strong focus on bridging and development finance.

Rowson, who will focus on enhancing the company’s service proposition, brings experience in unregulated lending across residential and commercial markets, having begun his career as a credit lending officer at a Mayfair-based single-family office.

All three appointments will work alongside Masthaven’s existing team under sales director Jim Baker as the business continues to grow its broker presence across key regions.

Baker said: “Chris is extremely well-regarded in the market, and we are delighted to welcome him back to Masthaven. His experience and reputation will make an immediate impact, particularly across the Midlands, North and Scotland.

“These appointments reflect our continued growth and our unwavering focus on ensuring brokers have the right support in place.”
