Mark has worked in the industry for 21 years, starting his career at Lehman Brothers where he was a senior analyst.

Before moving to Redwood Bank, Mark worked for NatWest, securing several different roles during his 13-year tenure.

Mark will work alongside Leon Marklew, Redwood Bank’s director of business development.

Leon said: “Mark brings with him a tremendous amount of experience, broker connections and a real ‘can do’ enthusiasm, which will help the Bank deliver its strategic ambition to be one of the UK’s leading challenger banks for SMEs.

“His commitment and dedication shone through in his interview, and he has buckets of ambition. We think Mark is an incredibly valuable asset and we’re excited to welcome him to the Redwood family and to see him in action.”

Mark said: “I am excited to join such a dynamic Bank, with a reputation for excellent customer service. I’m looking forward to supporting brokers and SMEs with the competitive products Redwood has to offer.

“As part of my role, I’ll be actively looking to widen the Bank’s broker network, while also upskilling the BD team in the south, helping to enhance their knowledge and understanding of deal structures and opportunities.”
