GB Bank strengthens team with three promotions

GB Bank has announced the promotion of three team members to strengthen its intermediary relationships and grow its lending ambitions.

Chris Chapman has been promoted to head of lending operations, where he will oversee the full lending and operations teams. Jude Miranda has stepped into the role of customer onboarding and loan packaging manager, taking responsibility for intermediary onboarding and case packaging. Nick Lynch has been promoted to head of loan completions and portfolio management, where he will lead the team responsible for loan completions and ongoing portfolio oversight.

The promotions follow the recent launch of GB Bank's new bridging finance range with rates starting from 0.79% per month available on residential, semi-commercial and commercial properties on loans between £500,000 and up to £4m.

GB Bank is a UK-licensed specialist lender offering loans up to £20 million for UK companies, individual investors, and foreign nationals. This includes those with complex structures, unique properties, or unconventional borrowing needs.

Mike Says, CEO of GB Bank, commented: “At GB Bank, we understand the strength of our team is central to achieving our ambitions and we’re committed to recognising and rewarding high-performing individuals who contribute meaningfully to our growth. Chris, Jude and Nick each bring deep experience, a strong work ethic and a shared focus on quality. Their promotions are a reflection of our belief that backing great people is just as important as backing great property deals.

“Since October’s launch of our new bridging range, we’ve seen heightened interest from intermediaries and so with Chris, Jude and Nick leading their respective teams, I am confident our service offering to intermediaries and their borrowers will be amongst the best in the sector.”
