Glenhawk has appointed Stephen Wrigley as business development manager, with responsibility for the South West & Wales.
He brings over 18 years of experience in the region, joining Glenhawk’s BDM team covering England, Scotland and Wales, as the cmpany looks to further diversify the loan book by geography in the coming year.
Based in Bristol, Wrigley (pictured) will report to director of sales, Jamie Pritchard. He will be responsible for strengthening Glenhawk’s broker relationships in the South West and Wales.
The South West saw the biggest rise in house prices in England in 2022, up 13.5% versus 2021, whilst both regions benefitted from the outward migration of homeowners witnessed during the pandemic.
He joins Glenhawk from CHL Mortgages where he was business development manager, South West & Wales. Prior to that he spent five years at Precise Mortgages where he worked alongside Pritchard, latterly as specialist distribution manager.
Pritchard said: “Stephen’s local knowledge and technical expertise operating in the bridging market will be a huge asset to us as we look to grow our loan book exposure across the UK. With real estate fundamentals remaining strong despite the macroeconomic challenges witnessed last year, there is real opportunity for our talented BDM teams to entrench themselves in their local markets.”
Wrigley added: “‘The Glenhawk brand and proposition has gone from strength to strength in recent years. Having previously worked with Jamie Pritchard, I’m looking forward to teaming up again and assisting brokers across the South West & Wales with their bridging needs.”
