HTB expands London & South East development finance team

Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) has appointed Tim Mycock as lending director for London and the South East within its development finance team.

In his new role, Tim will work closely with brokers and developers across the region, establishing relationships and assisting in the structuring and packaging of cases.

Tim boasts significant experience within property finance, having held senior management positions in bridging, private equity and development finance, both in the UK and overseas.

Neil Leitch, managing director of development finance at HTB, added: “London and the South East is a crucial region for HTB, and with Tim on board we look forward to delivering the combination of flexible funding and hands-on customer service that is synonymous with the bank. Tim has fantastic experience in this industry, and will be a great asset in supporting our brokers and developer clients even when cases have certain tricky or quirky elements to them. Across the bank we are committed to investing in our staff, building teams with the knowledge and understanding that allow them to provide what brokers and borrowers truly need.”
