Mint Property Finance has welcomed two new team members to its underwriting department.
The first of the new hires, Leigh Harwood, joins Mint as development underwriter from Stream Bank. In his 20 year career, Harwood has worked on mortgages, loans, litigations and collections, holding several titles in that time including head of underwriting at C&M Wealth International Ltd and credit manager at Stream Bank.
Harwood said: “I’m delighted to join the team at Mint. I’m looking forward to bringing my extensive industry knowledge to the company and helping continue their upward growth trajectory.”
Also joining the company as underwriter support is Ben Broad who joins as a graduate in his first role.
Broad said: “I’m looking forward to beginning my career at Mint, and have been warmly welcomed into the team. I’m excited to develop my knowledge of the property finance sectors and further my career in this exciting industry.”
Both Harwood and Broad will work in Mint’s underwriting team, led by Adam Robson and Sam Herd.
Andrew Lazare, Mint’s managing director, said: “As mentioned in the press previously this week, Mint continue to be very much ‘open for business’ despite the challenging economic circumstances and our two new hires reflect our ongoing and growing need for exceptional talent.
“The addition of Ben and Leigh to our team means we will be even better placed to successfully manage new and existing enquiries through our underwriting process to completion.”
