HTB recruit BDM to strengthen bridging team

Daniel Smith joins Hampshire Trust Bank (HTB) after two years at Alternative Bridging Corporation, working as a Business Development Manager (BDM). In this role, he developed broker relationships and gained a detailed understanding of their needs in the bridging sector. He’s also previously worked as a Senior Personal Banker at the Royal Bank of Scotland. 

In his new role, Daniel will focus on supporting HTB’s key accounts, alongside building relationships with new brokers. Daniel will help them navigate HTB’s tailored bridging solutions and processes, ensuring they receive expert support. 

“I’m excited to be joining HTB during an exciting period of growth. I have built my career around being customer-focused and delivering the highest service standards, so I know that I have a shared ethos with the team here. HTB has ambitions for sustained growth, and I’m looking forward to being a part of this journey,” he said. 

This hire aligns with HTB’s continued investment into its bridging proposition, following in the footsteps of its recent introduction of a Heavy Refurbishment product and dual representation – reflecting the bank’s commitment to simplifying processes and improving outcomes. 

Lorenzo Satchell, Sales Director of Bridging at HTB, added: “It’s great to have Daniel on board to complement our outstanding bridging team. Adding someone of Daniel’s calibre, who truly understands the bridging market and can build strong broker relationships, strengthens our service-first approach. 

“Our bridging team continues to evolve to meet the needs of brokers and their customers. With Daniel’s expertise, we’re confident brokers will have the support and solutions they need to deliver good outcomes for their customers,” he concluded.
