LendInvest appoints BDM for Scotland

LendInvest Mortgages has appointed Abbie McCluskey as business development manager for Scotland. 

Abbie will focus on building and strengthening relationships with mortgage brokers to drive the firm’s lending growth across Scotland. 

Abbie brings nearly a decade of dedicated experience in the UK lending sector to her new role, with previous roles at Lloyds Banking Group and The Mortgage Lender (TML), earning a Certificate in Professional Specialist Property (CPSP) along the way. She fills the role left vacant by Rod McPherson, who was promoted to head of distribution in August.

Abbie McCluskey said: “I’m incredibly excited to be leading LendInvest's mission to make mortgages simple for everyone throughout Scotland. 

"Over the years, I've seen firsthand how dedication and clear communication drive results, and I'm eager to showcase my skills here. I look forward to working closely with our broker partners to simplify the lending process and ensure that every deal, from portfolio expansion to first-time property purchase, is completed efficiently and successfully across Scotland.

"LendInvest’s technology, along with access to expert support, is crucial for giving brokers the speed and certainty they need right now. I was eager to align myself with a company that doesn't just talk about innovation, it delivers it.”

Paula Mercer, director of sales at LendInvest, added: “All of us at LendInvest are committed to giving our customers the best level of service combined with our technology. We continually invest in recruiting top talent to ensure our expertise is readily accessible to our intermediaries, so there is always someone on the other end of the phone to lend support, no matter how complex the deal may be.

"Abbie is a proven and confident professional with deep industry knowledge and the Scottish market, making her the ideal leader to expand our regional presence. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome Abbie and her energy and dedication to the team.”
