Charles Haresnape to leave Aldermore

Aldermore says Haresnape will remain with the company whilst a replacement is found.

During his tenure at Aldermore the bank’s mortgage portfolio grew in excess of £5bn. Over his career Charles has worked in a number of senior lending roles, including at Royal Bank of Scotland where he headed mortgage intermediary sales for both the lender and NatWest for more than 10 years.

An Aldermore spokesperson said: “We can confirm that Charles Haresnape, group managing director of Mortgages has decided to pursue an opportunity outside the Bank.

“Charles has been instrumental to the growth of our strong and profitable mortgages business and we wish him all the best for the future. Charles will remain in the business whilst we search for his replacement, a process we have already begun.”

Fahed Boodai, Chairman of Gatehouse Financial Group, said: “I am delighted to see someone of Charles calibre joining us to lead the firm, he will be pivotal in leading Gatehouse during the next stage of its strategy and I look forward to working alongside him in achieving our ambitions for the firm, our clients and our shareholders.”
