Kuflink appoints Brian West as head of sales

Brian West has joined Kuflink Group as its new head of sales, focusing on driving product innovation, funding capacity and book growth.  

Brian has spent over 25 years in the property sector holding senior roles at corporate blue chip lenders such as GE Capital and Swift Advance, whilst also serving two terms as a board director of The Association of Short Term Lenders (ASTL), recently rebranded to the Bridging & Development Lenders Association (BDLA), between 2015-2019. 

He has also held roles at specialist lenders such as Funding 365 and Pivot, and has spent the past two and a half years heading up the sales and marketing function at London-based lender Saxon Trust.

Brian commented: “I’ve known Narinder for many years and watched the Kuflink journey from a small privately funded lender to the current, highly impressive operation. With institutional funding now complementing our market leading peer-to-peer investment platform, the foundations are in place for the next stage of growth and development. I look forward to playing a significant part in this growth.”    
 
Narinder Khattoare, CEO at Kuflink, added: “Brian has a wealth of experience. He’s uniquely well connected in the industry and we are delighted that he’s agreed to take over the sales team. He is the latest in a series of senior appointments and his arrival ensures that we now have the team in place to take Kuflink to the next level.”
