Potts will support brokers in the North West, while Harrison will focus on the North East region. Both will report to Sam Debenham, regional manager of mortgage sales at Paragon.
Potts joins from Aldermore Bank, where she worked for around nine years, most recently as relationship manager. Before that, she spent nearly four years at RBS and also spent around a year as an adviser at Alterline.
Harrison previously worked at L&C for over eight years, and during that time he held adviser, team manager and training and development roles and then went on to set up his own brokerage.
Debenham said: “It’s fantastic to welcome Eloise and Stephen to the team. Having worked in BDM, broker and underwriting roles means that their knowledge and experience couldn’t be better suited. They know how brokers like to work and how they don’t so are well-placed to support them.”
Jason Wilde, head of sales for Paragon Bank’s mortgages division, added: “Bringing in Eloise and Stephen bolsters our mortgages sales team and highlights how Paragon is attracting the best talent from across the industry.

“They’ll work closely with firms in the North West and North East as part of our distribution strategy. This is focused on building relationships with a wider network of brokerages to write more simple business easily and swiftly, in addition to the complex cases we’ve built a reputation for during our 30 years of buy-to-let lending.”
