He has 16 years of experience in banking and commercial lending, as well as work across relationship-managed deal origination.
Taylor was most recently relationship manager at GB Bank, where he managed a portfolio of complex lending structures including bridging finance, refurbishment loans, mezzanine funding, and term lending. Prior to this, he held similar positions at Allica Bank and TSB Bank. Taylor also worked at Lloyds Bank where he progressed to a BDM and established an external introducer network.
Lakeshield said Taylor’s career history made him well placed to manage its BDM team and broker relationships.
