The Mortgage Lender appoints Peter Beaumont as Deputy CEO

Beaumont’s housing and financial market experience spans more than 32 years’ including board positions at UK residential property fund Hearthstone, the GSP Group, RPS Capital Partners, Mortgages plc and Merrill Lynch.

His appointment comes as The Mortgage Lender steps up its growth plans with plans to launch a buy-to-let proposition and securitisation of its first tranche of loans in the near future.

The Mortgage Lender's chief executive, Trevor Pothecary, said: “We are delighted Peter is joining us at a crucial point in our evolution. His knowledge and experience complement and add to the existing management team as we gear up for the launch of our buy-to-let proposition and look to securitise our first tranche of loans.”

Peter Beaumont added: “Working with a successful and known management team is the right opportunity at the right time for me.

“It means I can focus on developing and building on what the board has already achieved as well as identifying new markets and segments of the market that are currently underserved. I’m looking forward to working with a team I trust as well as building on TML’s success.”
