Second charge lender Spring Finance has promoted Kate Hill to the position of underwriting manager.
She has been an underwriter at Spring Finance since joining the company in July 2015.
She previously worked at packagers The Loans Engine and Loans Warehouse, as well as Barclays, during the first 13 years of her career.
She will be assisted by new underwriter Penny Scobie, who has recently joined the company from GE. Before that she worked for packager Loans.co.uk.
Erika Leung has also joined Spring Finance as compliance manager, having previously worked for GE for 14 years.
The underwriting team will continue to be supported by business development manager, Graeme Wade.
Hill said: “I’m looking forward to my new role and working closely with Penny, Erika and Graeme, to ensure that we offer the best service to our brokers at all times.
“We will be bringing excellent broker experience to the business and our aim is to help everyone as much as we can to get deals funded.
“The four of us will be out and about visiting and speaking with brokers to make this happen.”
Stuart Epstein, Spring Finance CEO, said: “The appointments are further proof that the company is continuing to grow and looking to the future.
“Broker service is key in our business and I know that Kate, Penny, Erika and Graeme will deliver that, especially with the extensive broker experience of Kate and Penny.”
