MT Finance makes five promotions in its bridging team

MT Finance has announced five promotions in its regulated bridging team.

The company has promoted Raphael Benggio from head of regulated underwriting to head of lending for bridging finance.

Ayondip Dam has been promoted from underwriter to head of regulated underwriting. In the underwriting team, Sarah Parsons and David Kingham have become senior underwriters and Emily Hatt has moved from case manager to junior underwriter.

Joshua Elash, director and founder of MT Finance, commented: “These promotions are in recognition of everything the regulated underwriting team has achieved over the past few years. We have highly-talented, dedicated members of staff, and I’m delighted that their hard work has been rewarded.

“I am looking forward to seeing how Ayondip shapes his new role. Having joined in 2018, he has proved himself to be a highly capable team member and I have no doubt he will flourish as head of regulated underwriting. The new role of head of lending for bridging finance is sure to be complex and challenging but I expect Raphael to take this in his stride and make it his own. This is an exciting time for the business and these promotions perfectly complement the company's ambitions."

Raphael Benggio added: “I’m delighted to be taking on this new role and it’s a real privilege to have the directors’ backing, giving me the opportunity to step up and oversee the management of our bridging offering. I intend to ensure our bridging proposition remains focused on delivering the quality of service we are known for, creating an efficient and seamless loan journey for clients, and maintaining a commercial attitude to our underwriting.

“MT Finance has a brilliant, experienced team of individuals across our regulated and unregulated underwriting teams, who are consistently committed to delivering the best possible service to introducers and clients. I’m looking forward to working alongside them all.”
