Paragon appoints buy-to-let BDM

Paragon Bank has bolstered its buy-to-let sales team with the appointment of business development manager, Sam Waterhouse, to cover the West Midlands region.

He brings more than 14 years of industry experience, rejoining Paragon following a two-year tenure as Landbay’s BDM for the Midlands. Sam initially spent 12 years with Paragon, most as part of the lender’s buy-to-let underwriting team. 

Sam Waterhouse said: “I’m thrilled to be returning to Paragon. Spending 12 great years here, primarily as an underwriter, has provided me with an in-depth understanding of how were able to support our customers to find solutions. 

“In the time since my first stint, the team has enhanced its systems, processes and criteria to mean the bank can write a broader range of business, more simple propositions as well as the complex cases Paragon has always excelled at. I can’t wait to reconnect with brokers across my region to tell them more.” 

Regional mortgages sales manager for the North, Sam Debenham, added: “We’re delighted to be welcoming back Sam to the Paragon team. With his recent experience out in the field along with his time here as an underwriter, Sam’s skills and experience will be instrumental in helping us further strengthen relationships with our intermediary partners across the region.”
