Shawbrook Bank’s commercial mortgages division has recruited Andy Thurston to the position of short term lending manager.
Thurston (pictured) previously spent two years working as an underwriter at Tiuta in London, before transferring, in 2012, to West One Loans in Hertfordshire, where he worked as an underwriter and case manager for a further two years.
He said: “I’m really excited to be joining Shawbrook during a period of considerable growth and am looking forward to contributing towards this growth and success over the coming years.
“I have been really impressed with the products that we offer our brokers and the service that is provided and I hope to be able to add my experience in the short term loan industry to the STL team.”
Karen Bennett, sales and marketing director of commercial mortgages, said: “We are thrilled to welcome Andy to our specialist STL team. His experience working in the short term finance market will boost the STL desk, helping Shawbrook to provide the best service possible to our panel of brokers. Increased support for our brokers is just one of our ambitions for our short term loan business this year.
“Andy’s appointment is the latest development in our STL growth strategy, which has included exciting changes to our products and processes.”
