Aspen Bridging announces two new hires

Aspen Bridging has appointed Stephen Hickman as senior risk assessor and Kyle Taylor as recoveries manager.

Stephen will be responsible for reviewing all applications as part of the firm’s risk function as well as assessing works cases from application stage and throughout the term of the loan until completion.

Kyle will manage the recoveries function to ensure that Aspen’s processes are up-to-date, work for customers and bring results.

Both Stephen and Kyle join from OneSavings Bank where they both worked for over 10 years, most recently holding the titles of senior bridging specialist underwriter and senior bridging recoveries manager respectively.

So far this year Aspen has also appointed Ian Miller-Hawes as sales director and Mike Allen as a BDM, as well as making promotions across its risk, underwriting and credit teams.

Jack Coombs, managing director at Aspen Bridging, said: “The appointments, promotions and changes we’ve made this year will have a significant positive impact on our growth trajectory.

“Stephen and Kyle bring a huge wealth of experience in their respective specialities and I’m sure they will both play a big part in our story going forwards at this critical time in our company’s growth journey.”
