West One has appointed Olivia Burke as business development manager (BDM) to its short-term division, covering London and the home counties.

Burke has eight years of experience in the real estate and property finance sectors across a number of business functions. 

West One Loans said she would bring her skill set to one of its busiest regions for bridging loans. 

Burke was most recently in a similar role at Crystal Specialist Finance, overseeing the Central London and South of England regions. She has also held roles at Metro Bank and Connells Group. 

At West One Loans, Burke will strengthen relationships with existing broker partners and grow the lender’s presence in the region through new business. 

Jez Quinn, head of sales for the short-term division at West One Loans, said: “I’m excited about the addition of Olivia to our already well-established bridging team in the short-term division. She is an enthusiastic, personable individual and I’m certain she’ll excel at establishing and developing broker relationships in and around Greater London.”

Burke added: “Working in specialist lending, particularly bridging finance, is where my passion lies, so being able to work with a lender that offers tailored solutions for clients will be a truly rewarding role. I’m looking forward to meeting brokers, maintaining and building relationships, and supporting them with solutions that help their customers.”
