Castle Trust appoints director of proposition and strategy

Anna, who joins from Hampshire Trust Bank where she was head of new business, has nearly 18 years’ experience in intermediary mortgages, having previously held roles at Purely Mortgages and Interbay Commercial.

Anna Lewis said: "This is a fantastic time to join a company that has ambitious plans to grow. With my expertise in specialist mortgages we can continue to build on the great proposition that Castle Trust Bank already has in place, working closely with intermediaries to support them and understand how we can continue to evolve and meet their lending needs.”

Barry Searle, managing director, added: “I’m very pleased to welcome Anna to the team. She has a wealth of experience and a great track record in working with intermediaries to identify the evolving needs of property investors and developing propositions to meet those needs. We have already had a huge amount of success with our specialist buy-to-let and development finance offering and Anna will become a key member of the team in building on that success and putting Castle Trust Bank at the forefront of consideration for any broker who has property investor clients.”
