He will also focus on expanding into regional broker networks, working closely with the business development manager (BDM) team.
Taylor’s appointment follows the lender’s diversification into semi-commercial BTL lending and its lending milestone of £10bn advanced to landlords, SME developers and homeowners across the UK.
