Andrew Ferguson has been appointed as managing director of West One Loans’ buy-to-let.
Ferguson joined on an initial short-term contract on a consultancy basis to advise on the launch of the new buy-to-let range but, has now agreed a permanent contract.
His role includes responsibility for the distribution, sales management, proposition and marketing of the buy-to-let product range.
After a successful launch of buy-to-let mortgages at the specialist lender, Ferguson is tasked with delivering continued growth in their newest product range.
Andrew joined following senior roles in the buy-to-let mortgage sector at Kent Reliance, Axis Bank – where he set up the buy-to-let lending service – and most recently as commercial director at Foundation Home Loans.
Stephen Wasserman, managing director of West One Loans, said: “As our most recent product launch, we want to make an impact on this market, which makes the expertise of people like Andrew critical to our future success. Andrew’s experience perfectly equips him to lead this business.”
Ferguson added: “I am excited to embark on my new role with West One Loans. It’s a chance to help grow a business in what is a competitive and dynamic market. We’ve already started strongly and taken on feedback from our launch partners to make enhancements to our lending criteria, so we can help even more of their clients – so the future is looking bright.”
