Masthaven appoints BDM from Secure Trust Bank

Jez will take over the responsibilities previously held by Harriet Smith who recently joined Crystal Specialist Finance.

His role will include recruiting, developing and managing key relationships while generating sales leads and providing support and education for brokers.

Jez joins from Secure Trust Bank where he was business development manager for the bank’s central region, responsible for key account partnerships and broker relationships. Prior to this, he was business relationship manager at West Bromwich Building Society.

In February, Secure Trust Bank announced its decision to cease new mortgage lending in light of the current economic climate, increased competition and pressures on the housing market.

Rob Barnard, director of sales at Masthaven, said: "Jez is an extremely welcome addition to the Masthaven team – he is already very well-known within the Midlands region and brings with him both a wealth of experience and a proven track record.

"Jez’s remit will include developing and managing key account partnerships and broker relationships to deliver against Masthaven’s sales objectives. The second quarter of the year is set to be a strong one for us and with the support of quality talent like Jez, we can continue to drive our ambitious growth plans for the sector.”
