Castle Trust has appointed James Adkin as business development manager (BDM) for the South East of England.
Adkin (pictured) has over 16 years’ experience in the specialist mortgage market, including roles at Preferred Mortgages, Platform Home Loans and GE Money.
Most recently, he worked as a BDM at Zephyr Home Loans and corporate account manager at Foundation Home Loans.
He will work with brokers in the South East to help place their bridging cases, specialist buy-to-let enquiries, such as HMOs, multi-unit lets, holiday lets and low yielding properties, as well as development exit loans, business purpose loans and high net worth mortgages.
Marcus Dussard, sales drector at Castle Trust, said: “At Castle Trust, we offer bespoke loans to match client requirements and we understand how important it is for brokers to have a conversation with a lender about a case. This is why we put so much emphasis on investing in a market leading business development team.
“James has real pedigree in specialist lending, and I look forward to working with him as the latest addition to our expert and dedicated team.”
Adkin added: “The market is a crowded place at the moment, but Castle Trust has real stand-out as a lender that genuinely offers brokers something different and it’s a great time to join such a dynamic lender with a very exciting future.
“I’m looking forward to introducing more brokers to the benefits of working with Castle Trust and its common-sense approach to bridging loans and specialist lending.”
